PP | Powered Wire Pointer
Make Wire & Bar Drawing Setup Easy
Automated Wire And Bar Machinery For Wire Pointing Before Drawing Dies
Product Overview
The Power Pointer by Sjogren industries takes our manual wire pointer and adds some power to aid in quality and speed for tough wire and rod pointing. It is used to sufficiently reduce the wire or rod diameter to allow easier passage through a drawing die.
Once enough material has passed through the die, it can be gripped by a puller and then drawn around the block. The roller on this pointer has several dies to repeat until the desired point size is achieved.

Power Pointer FAQ
What are the dimensions of the power pointer?
Dimensions:
- Width: 38” (965 mm)
- Depth: 28.5” (724 mm)
- Height: 50.5” (1283 mm)
- Weight: 450lbs (204kg)
How does the Power Pointer work?
- Turn the power of the pointer unit on by pressing the GREEN power button.
- The pointer rolls MUST rotate counterclockwise.
- Starting with the largest maximum diameter wire groove in the pointer roll, use the pointer to reduce the diameter for approximately 2.0 inches (50mm) in length until the wire fits through the first die.
- The pointer rolls rotate counterclockwise which ensure flattening of the wire while pushing the wire towards the operator, preventing fingers/hands from entering the machine.
- The wire must be worked several times back and forth through the pointer in one to three grooves to obtain a round diameter at the necessary size and length.
- CAUTION: WIRE POINT WILL BE HOT!
- Press the RED stop button to power down the machine.
Do I need to lubricate my power pointer?
To maintain optimal performance, follow these maintenance steps:
- The pointer is permanently lubricated and the internal gears and bearings would only require attention if the lube becomes contaminated. Occasionally the rolls should be cleaned to remove steel dust/chips.
- The lubricant in the gear reducer should be changed after the first 100 hours and every 6 months thereafter. Refer to the manufacturer’s documentation.
