The method consists of: providing an elongate member (tracer) of a material which is substantially inextensible or extensible to a foreseeable extent, feeding the member to the extrusion head of an extruder simultaneously with the material to be extruded so that the member is incorporated in the extrusion during extrusion, detecting the advance of the member upstream of the extrusion head, and synchronizing the operation of adjusting means operable to modify the section of the outlet orifice of the extrusion head with the advance of the member. The invention also relates to apparatus for carrying out the method.

A method for the continuous extrusion of an extrusion, such as a weather strip for motor vehicle bodies, having successive portions of predetermined length with respective predetermined sections, using an extrusion head with an extrusion orifice and adjusting means which, when activated, modify the section of the extrusion orifice, wherein the method comprises the following operations: feeding an elongate member having reference means regularly spaced along the length thereof to the extrusion head simultaneously with the material to be extruded so that the member is incorporated in said extrusion during extrusion; detecting the advance of said member upstream of said extrusion head by detecting the passage of said reference means, and synchronising the operation of said adjusting means with the advance of said member to adjust said extrusion orifice upon the passage of a predetermined length of said member.
