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 which, together with the use of very high quality component parts (motors and Siemens 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.

Force for cylinder 150 t
Maximum tube point length 280 mm

- Distribution block steel
- Heat exchanger Air/oil or Water/oil

The Afonat series, starting with the 404 up to the 1004 consists of two separate blocks: the main structure and the hydraulic unit. These machines require the building of an appropriate foundation.

Operator panel Siemens OP 170B
Lubrication system automatic (managed from OP170B)

From the Siemens OP170B operator panel, all the machine functions can be controlled, from jaw opening/closing to automatic greasing adjustment and the cleaning blower. The type of cycle to be used - Automatic, Semi-automatic or Manual - can also be selected from the panel.
