The pointing process takes place before drawing of tubes. Pointing machines from ASMAG are characterised by a particularly robust design in order to enable transmission of high forces onto the material being pointed. ASMAG offers the right pointing system for tubes, rods and profiles made of copper, brass, aluminium and steel.

Tagless drawing with an internal gripper device is a particularly economical solution for drawing copper tubes. This makes the separate, upstream pointing procedure superfluous, which considerably reduces cycle times and material waste, thus further minimising the manufacturing costs associated with tube production.
