LaserLinc President John Inkrott joins MD+DI for “Innovation Forward: Advancing Medical Tube Manufacturing,” a new Fast Chat video interview exploring the trends shaping medical tubing production.

LaserLinc’s Chad Walker has received the IWCS Kitts-Kingsley Award for Best Presentation for his talk, “How Traditional Measurement Techniques in Continuous Casting and Rolling Applications Can Exhibit Perfect Ovality Yet Fail Circularity Criteria,” presented at the 2025 IWCS Cable & Connectivity Industry Forum.

In our latest blog, learn how the rising cost of resin is changing the financial impact of scrap and how continuous measurement can help you identify process changes earlier, use material more efficiently, and prevent small variations from becoming expensive problems.

We recently worked with MD+DI on an article covering a common challenge in medical tubing extrusion: understanding what's happening beyond OD measurements alone. The article explores why wall thickness and concentricity are often just as important to product quality as OD, and why relying solely on OD can hide critical process variation.

The July/August issue of Wire & Cable Technology International is now available. Sponsored by LaserLinc, this edition also features our technical article exploring how in-process ultrasonic measurement and insulation layer visualization help THHN manufacturers improve yield, reduce material waste, and maintain product quality through real-time process intelligence.

Surface defect detection in cable manufacturing is changing. As AI infrastructure expands, fiber and power cable producers are being pushed to increase throughput while meeting tighter quality standards. Many operations still rely on manual inspection or 2D vision systems that infer defects rather than measure them. Our latest technical white paper examines why those methods struggle to scale and what continuous, full-surface inspection actually requires in high-volume production. It explores how contour-based 3D inspection using laser-line triangulation enables true 100 percent surface coverage, real-time defect intelligence, and earlier detection that prevents costly scrap and downstream failures.
