Internal gripper system in expanded position

Bultmann Internal Gripper System
Eliminate Pointing Operations

The Gripper Device is mounted into the existing drawing carriage. The gripper head is moved into the tube and is expanding. The expanded gripper head has gripped the tube from the I.D., now the drawing carriage is plug drawing the tube.

The Bültmann Internal Gripper System eliminates your tube pointing operations altogether. This system is easily adapted to your existing draw bench. NOT ONLY DOES THIS SYSTEM ELIMINATE TUBE POINTING but additional benefits are:

Eliminate scrap by as much as 50%
No transportation costs between pointing and drawing
No pointed material storage
No repointing of tubes
