The cable & wire and extrusion & hose manufacturing industries in the UK encompass a diverse range of products and serve various sectors including construction, energy, telecommunications and manufacturing therefore playing a crucial role in infrastructure development. 
The industries are subject to stringent regulations and standards to ensure the safety and reliability of products brought to market, so technology and automation that improves efficiency whilst simultaneously reducing production costs are fundamental investments for the key industry players.
Control Metrix has built a strong reputation for delivering accuracy and pinpoint efficiency to aid manufacturers in understanding the minutiae details of their production lines. For years we have been providing precision technology to a variety of industry sectors such as metals, food and petrochemicals so that precise data is used to ensure products are as strong, safe and perfect as they can be.
In partnership with Nordson Measurement & Control Solutions, Control Metrix now offer a new range of products designed specifically for the cable and tube, extrusion and hose industries to accurately measure diameter, length, ovality, eccentricity, capacitance and flaw detection. John Miller, Managing Director of Control Metrix said “This is a natural step forward for our company as we have been a key player in the sale of LaserSpeed products now produced by Nordson for many years and have a wealth of knowledge and experience of laser measurement systems so it is a natural step for us to support these new industries.”
Products such as the AccuScan or BenchMike Pro integrate easily as part of an at-line process for manufacturers to monitor real time dimensional data, statistical process control metrics and trends ensuring that standards are consistently maintained.
To complement these measurement solutions, Control Metrix also offers advanced wire preheating technology such as the Smart Temp 280 wire preheater. Ideal for extrusion and insulation processes, this system delivers precise, uniform wire temperatures at high speeds, helping to reduce thermal variation, improve insulation bonding, and optimise energy efficiency. Its intelligent control features and seamless integration capabilities make it a valuable addition to any modern cable or wire production line.
