When it is mounted in the front of the cooling trough, an optimized controlling effect may be obtained through in-time feedback due to the proximity of the measuring head to the extruder. But at this time the plastic coating is not cured, so the set nominal value must be accordingly.

When it is mounted in the behind of the cooling trough, the measured value is the real diameter of the wire or cable. But the controlling effect is not so good because of the large control lag. Be sure to blow dry the tested wire or cable, otherwise, the measuring precision will be affected by the water coating around the wire or cable.
