Full Automatic Line in Action – From Pointing to Drawing to Straightening

Sep 8
2 min read

End‑to‑end automation for seamless metal tube and bar processing – reducing labor costs, improving efficiency, and simplifying operation from start to finish.


How the Fully Automatic Line Works – Step by Step

Step

Process

Automation Feature

1

Raw material is loaded into the automatic loading station

Bulk loading – minimizes manual handling

2

Feeding rack automatically moves material to the pointing machine

Auto‑singulation and transfer – no operator intervention

3

After pointing, material passes through the connecting rack to the drawing process

Guided transfer – maintains alignment

4

Movable mandrel frame guides material through the dies

Precise internal support – ensures uniform wall thickness

5

After drawing, the finished tube is automatically transferred to the straightening machine infeed rack

Seamless handover – no intermediate storage

6

Straightening completed – material moves to the outfeed rack and collecting rack

Automatic stacking – ready for next process

All steps are automated – one seamless flow from raw material to finished, straightened product.


Key Advantages of the Fully Automatic Line

Advantage

Benefit
