Subtitle: Advanced automatic pointing technology delivers perfectly formed, concentric ends on tubes and bars—ensuring secure gripping, smooth die entry, and maximum material utilization.
Why Precision Pointing Is Essential
The pointing operation is the first and most critical step in cold drawing. A properly formed point ensures:
Secure Carriage Grip: Prevents slippage that can damage material and halt production
Smooth Die Entry: Protects expensive drawing dies from impact damage
Material Conservation: Removes only the minimum required material, maximizing yield
Consistent Drawing Conditions: Enables repeatable, automated production
Key Features
Rotary Swaging & Radial Forging: Multiple forming methods for different materials and sizes
CNC Programmable Control: Store precise parameters for each job—diameter, wall thickness, material
Concentric Pointing: Precision-guided tooling ensures perfect alignment with tube/bar axis
Non-Marring Tooling: Polished dies protect sensitive surfaces
Quick-Change System: Fast transitions between sizes for flexible production
Fully Automatic Cycle: From clamping to forming and retraction—hands-free operation
