Subtitle: Hydraulic-powered pointing technology delivers consistent, concentric tube and bar ends with smooth force control for reliable cold drawing operations.
The Critical First Step in Cold Drawing
Before any tube or bar can be cold drawn, its leading end must be precisely reduced to create a "point" that passes through the die and grips securely in the carriage. Automatic hydraulic pointing machines perform this essential preparation with unmatched consistency and control.
Why Hydraulic Pointing?
Smooth, Controllable Force: Hydraulic systems apply gradual, uniform pressure—ideal for soft materials like aluminum and copper that could be damaged by impact.
High Tonnage Capacity: Handles large diameters and thick-wall tubes with ease.
Adjustable Cycles: Programmable stroke length, pressure, and speed for different materials and sizes.
Quiet Operation: Hydraulic power runs smoothly without the noise of mechanical impact.
Key Features
Fully Automatic Cycle: From clamping to pointing and retraction, all operations are PLC-controlled for repeatable results.
Quick-Change Tooling: Interchangeable die sets allow fast transitions between different diameters and shapes.
Concentricity Assurance: Precision-guided dies ensure the pointed end is perfectly aligned with the material axis.
Surface Protection: Polished tooling prevents marring on sensitive materials.
Safety Systems: Light curtains and dual-hand controls protect operators during automatic operation.
Materials Processed
Steel and stainless steel
Aluminum and aluminum alloys
