We offer a comprehensive range of precision metal processing equipment, including straightening, cold drawing, pointing, chamfering, cutting, thread rolling machines, and drawing dies, tailored for tube, bar, and wire materials across diverse industries.
A Titanium Rod Pointing Machine prepares the front end of a titanium rod before cold drawing. The machine reduces and forms the rod end so that it can enter the drawing die and be securely gripped by the drawing machine. This step is important when the original rod diameter is larger than the die opening.
Instead of manually grinding or forging each rod end, the machine uses roller forming to produce a repeatable pointed section. It can be used as a standalone pointing machine or incorporated into manual and automatic cold drawing lines.
The titanium rod passes between two hardened alloy steel grooved rollers. Driven by the motor and reducer, the rollers rotate while the shaped grooves progressively form and reduce the rod end. The material is formed rather than removed, which avoids the material loss associated with extensive cutting or grinding.
The roller grooves are matched to the required rod diameter. A single machine can accommodate different rod sizes within its specified pointing range, while the selected model determines the maximum workpiece diameter that can be processed.
Before a titanium rod enters a cold drawing die, the end must be small enough to pass through the die and suitable for gripping. Manual preparation can become a bottleneck when production volume increases, particularly when rod dimensions need to remain consistent from piece to piece.
Roller pointing provides a more repeatable end shape and reduces preparation time. A properly formed end also makes die entry and gripping more consistent, helping the following drawing operation run with fewer interruptions.
Fangrong offers ten standard models from FR-10 to FR-100. The available pointing range extends from Ø2 mm to Ø100 mm. Machine size, roller diameter, drive power and weight increase with the required rod diameter, so model selection should be based on the actual material size and production requirements rather than diameter alone.

Custom specifications can be provided according to the customer's material, diameter range and production requirements. The parameters above are for reference, and the actual configuration may vary according to material type and machine requirements.
The pointing rollers are manufactured from alloy steel and heat treated for repeated forming operations. The grooved working surfaces determine how the rod end is reduced and shaped, so roller selection is matched to the material and diameter range rather than treated as a universal configuration.
The machine body uses a rigid welded steel structure to support the roller assembly and drive system. The motor and reducer provide the rotational force required for continuous rod-end forming, while the overall mechanical layout is designed for access during tooling changes, inspection and maintenance.
The machine is normally installed before the cold drawing stage. A typical process is titanium rod preparation, end pointing, die entry and gripping, followed by cold drawing and subsequent straightening, cutting or finishing operations.
For plants handling different rod diameters, the pointing machine can be selected according to the required range and connected with feeding equipment or other line equipment. The configuration can be discussed according to the existing production layout and required degree of automation.
Titanium Rod Pointing Machines are used where rod ends must be prepared before drawing or subsequent processing. Typical applications include titanium rod manufacturing, titanium wire production, bright titanium bar processing, cold drawing lines, fastener production, welding rod manufacturing, spring material processing, automotive components and metal processing service centers.
Fangrong was established in 1998 and has more than 26 years of experience in the design and manufacture of straightening machines, cold drawing equipment and related metallurgical machinery. The company operates two manufacturing facilities in Guangdong Province: Dongguan Fangrong Metallurgical Equipment Co., Ltd. and Yangjiang Fangrong Machinery Co., Ltd.
More than 10,000 customers in over 60 industries have used Fangrong equipment, with machines exported to more than 60 countries and regions. The product range covers equipment used before, during and after metal tube and bar forming processes, allowing related machines to be considered as part of a complete production line.
Dongguan Manufacturing Facility
Dongguan Fangrong Metallurgical Equipment Co., Ltd., located in Dalang Town, Dongguan City, serves as the company's headquarters and primary manufacturing base. It specializes in precision cold drawing machines, straightening machines and thread rolling equipment.
Yangjiang Manufacturing Facility
Yangjiang Fangrong Machinery Co., Ltd., located in Yangdong District, Yangjiang City, expands production capacity and supports equipment delivery for customers with different project schedules.
Production begins with drawing confirmation and component inspection. Steel plates, structural parts, motors, reducers, bearings, electrical components and other purchased parts are checked against the required specifications before entering production.
The Titanium Rod Pointing Machine frame is cut, welded and stress-relieved before machining. Key components such as shafts, roller-related parts, fixtures and mounting surfaces are machined to the required dimensions. The drive system, electrical components and mechanical assemblies are then installed and aligned.
Before shipment, the completed machine undergoes running and functional checks. The inspection focuses on mechanical operation, roller movement, forming performance, dimensional requirements and overall machine condition. Surface treatment and protective packaging are completed after final inspection.

Q1. What is the purpose of a titanium rod pointing machine?
It reduces and forms the rod end before cold drawing so the prepared end can pass through the drawing die and be gripped by the drawing equipment.
Q2. What diameter range can the machine process?
The standard FR-10 to FR-100 models cover pointing ranges from approximately Ø2 mm to Ø100 mm. The suitable model depends on the actual rod diameter.
Q3. Can the machine process different titanium rod diameters?
Yes. The available pointing range depends on the model, and the forming rollers are configured for the required rod sizes. Customers handling several diameters should provide the complete size range when requesting a quotation.
Q4. Is pointing required before every cold drawing operation?
Not necessarily. It depends on the starting rod diameter, drawing die opening, drawing method and gripping arrangement. Pointing is generally required when the rod end cannot directly enter the die and drawing equipment.
Q5. Does the machine cut material away from the rod?
The standard roller pointing process forms and reduces the rod end through the grooves of the rollers rather than relying on extensive cutting or grinding.
Q6. How should I select the correct model?
The main factors are titanium material specification, starting rod diameter, required pointed-end size, rod length, production volume and whether the machine will operate independently or as part of an automatic drawing line.
Q7. Can Fangrong customize the machine?
Yes. Custom configurations can be discussed according to material, diameter range, production requirements and line layout. The standard table should therefore be treated as a model-selection reference rather than a fixed limitation.
Q8. Can it be integrated with an automatic cold drawing line?
Yes. The pointing machine can be configured for standalone operation or connected with feeding and downstream drawing equipment according to the required production process.
Q9. What technical information is needed for a quotation?
Provide the titanium grade or material type, rod diameter range, rod length, required pointed-end dimensions, expected production capacity and existing drawing-line configuration if integration is required.
Q10. What after-sales support is available?
Fangrong provides installation guidance, commissioning support and operator training. The machine is supplied with a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects, together with long-term technical support and spare-parts service.
