Wire Pointing Station

Wire Pointing Station

A wire pointing station which mounts on an automatic spring making machine.

The pointing station consist of a mounting bracket, a high speed spindle and a tungsten carbide roller guides pointing tool. The pointing tool machines a chamfer on the end of the wire used to make springs. This is usually done as the a first operation in the sequence.

The spindle provides the motion to the pointing tool. The speed of rotation can be varied to suit different diameters of wire and different grades of material.

The bracket supports the spindle and tool and locates it accurately and rigidly on the face plate of the CNC spring making machine.
