“AFONAT” AUTOMATIC SQUEEZE POINTERS

High productivity – advanced technology... and all in unbroken silence

Since 1955 – always one step ahead

The line of hydraulic squeeze pointers of the Afonat series represents the state-of-the-art and most complete technological solution for making the tong-holds of drawn pipes. The main feature of our machines is sturdiness that, together with the use of very high quality component parts (Siemens motors, PLC and operator panels, Bosch- Rexroth hydraulic components, Moog pumps) ensures absolute reliability over the years. Another feature of our machines is the "follow-on" jaw closing system, which mechanically ensures all 4 jaws move at the same time and permits achieving any square end size with just one type of jaw. The Siemens operator panel, which is connected to the PLC by a loop, allows to set and control all the functions and the parameters of the machine (cycles selection, jaws opening/closing measures and speed ratio, automatic lubrication adjustment, strokes counter, recipes management, etc.) For more information please visit our site, www.politecnicaitalia.it
