Abstract

The invention relates to a device for producing plastic pipe from a molten plastic tube. The device comprises a injection head for connection to an extruder for the extrusion of the molten plastic tube and several molding jaws in each case having a molding surface for the molding of the extruded molten plastic tube, which, for molding the extruded molten plastic tube, are arranged, in each case in pairs, guided by means of a drive device along a molding path in the production direction of the extruded molten plastic tube. The molding surface in each case partially encircles a receiving space for receiving the molten plastic tube. According to the invention, at least one of the molding jaws has a sensor device which comprises at least one sensor with a data-capturing sensor head, which is arranged such that its capture area comprises an area of the molding surface and/or an area of the receiving space.
