Cogsdill Generating heads

Detailed Specification

Infinite control

Cogsdill Generating Heads are designed for facing, recessing, boring, and contouring. Multiple operations can be performed faster, more economically, with better quality, and at one spindle location. Used on special-purpose machines and other high production machinery, including transfer lines and dial machines.

Single or double-slide models are  available, designed for feed-out or feed-in
Sizes from 100 to 250mm (3.937 to 9.842 in.) in diameter
Drawbar actuation- no need to pilot in part or fixture
Unique actuator design- smooth, accurate motion for precise repeatability
Internal mechanism manufactured to exacting tolerances- backlash is virtually eliminated
All moving parts are hardened and precision ground for lasting accuracy
Built-in lubeways and easily accessible grease fittings
Equipped with through-tool auto lube capability
Special lightweight slides are available (optional) for higher cutting speeds and shorter cycle times- tooling can be balanced

Generating efficiencies

Custom-designed top tooling is mounted in qualified holes on the tool-slide. Standard inserts are used for most applications. Special head designs and special form cutters are available.

Cogsdill generating heads are designed to work on machines where the tool slide stroke is controlled by a drawbar. The drawbar can produce finite, accurate movements in the tool slide(s), allowing the head to perform accurate machining operations. Draw-bars can either push or pull on the actuator, and may be controlled by CNC, hydraulic, or mechanical action.

Operations such as boring, turning, facing, chamfering, and form cutting can be easily performed. Generating heads can often be made to perform multiple operations in a single pass – this provides for optimum efficiency and performance in your machining operations.

Cogsdill generating heads are made from the highest quality materials, to exacting quality standards. Our engineers have built in quality features that ensure durability and consistent accuracy. These high-quality features include hardened and ground components, multiple grease fittings with internal lube ways, and anti-friction coatings on wear surfaces.

Precision ground

The method of operation incorporated in all Cogsdill generating heads is based on the principal of a sliding inclined wedge. This actuation mechanism produces smooth, linear cutter movement with little or no backlash.

Cogsdill generating heads can be utilized on a variety of drawbar-equipped machines such as transfer lines, rotary transfer (dial type) machines, and other special purpose machines. The heads can be mounted on virtually any spindle that has a drawbar. Cogsdill can provide a complete tooling package for new machines, as well as for retrofitting an existing machine.
