Precision Pointing Machines: The Critical Foundation for High-Quality Cold Drawing

  • Mar 29

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
