Abstract: A method for producing a biaxially oriented tube from thermoplastic material, wherein a tube in preform condition is extruded from thermoplastic material and is subjected to a temperature conditioning. Use is made of an expansion device and of a drawing device which is arranged downstream of the expansion device. The expansion device includes a non-deformable expansion part and a run-on part located upstream of the expansion part and having an upstream sealing member. The expansion device further includes a first gas discharge duct having one or more first inlet ports in the exterior surface of the expansion device, a first inlet port being open or closed or partly closed dependent on whether or not the first inlet port is covered and closed, or partly closed, by the tube.

Abstract: A positioning device (1) of a processing module of a cable processing machine for finishing a cable. The positioning device (1) includes a first displacing device (10) for displacing the processing module relative to the cable to be processed along a first, in particular horizontal axis (x) transversely, preferably perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis (L) of the cable to be processed and a second displacing device (20) for displacing the processing module relative to the cable to be processed along a second, in particular vertical axis (z) transversely, preferably perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis (L) of the cable to be processed and transversely, preferably perpendicular to the first axis (x). A processing module and a cable processing machine having at least one such positioning device (1).
