“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.)
