According to National Machinery LLC, Tiffin, OH, USA, SMART Machinery is known for its technological advancements in secondary operations machinery such as SMART pointing machines. SMARTs patented direct drive technology, where mechanical drives are replaced with high-precision, low-maintenance servo drives, is featured on these machines. The pointers also come equipped with a SMART-designed brushless electro-spindle and powerful brushless motor which is guaranteed to follow the cutting parameters even for high-strength materials when shaving points, chamfers, throats and axial drilling on screws and bolts by utilizing its high torque capacity. Linear motors aid in providing high-precision 0.01 mm increment adjustments, repeatable results and total control of the production process. Pointers also offer high production speeds and flexibility for small or large batch sizes. Set up is a quick process due to the servomotors and is completed through the control screen. Pointers are available as independent stand-alone units or equipped on SMART threaders.
