Bringing a new profile or a new compound onto a continuous curing line today usually means one thing: trial runs. Line time is tied up, material is scrapped, measurements are taken and settings adjusted — often over several days. The right settings depend in a non-linear way on the profile geometry, the compound and the configuration of the line, so experience alone becomes unreliable with every new combination.
