Cogsdill offers many standard and special tooling solutions for machining operations ranging from simple to complex on all aspects of aeronautical engineering. Complementing our extensive inventory of existing tooling, we are able to custom develop tools to your specific requirements due to our in-house design and manufacturing. Whether you are machining new or reclaiming existing aircraft components, Cogsdill have a range of tools developed specifically for the aerospace industry. Shefcut special precision reamers, achieve size, accuracy, and location on critical bores in landing gear components. Various features inside landing gear and jet engines, including bottle bores are machined with ease using the Cogsdill MBT (Modular Boring Tool) system. Bottle boring, also known as internal profiling or chamber boring is a special cutting operation where the boring tool expands and contracts within an existing bore to produce a contour inside the workpiece. This enables the manufacturer to machine complex internal shapes, sophisticated bore transitions and undercuts, that reduces the overall weight of critical components without compromising surface integrity. These characteristics are generally too deep or too complicated for single point boring bars. The internal hole profile is larger within the part than at the entry or exit diameters, therefore CNC controls are necessary for coordinating multiple axes simultaneously to create the desired profiles. MBT pilot right The Cogsdill MBT tool is supported with a proven pilot system, either utilizing a rotating O’ring pilot assembly, designed to keep coolant and chips away from the tool body or via coated carbide wear pads, both styles ensuring a vibration free operation, with superior surface finishes. These pads/pilots are designed to suffer the least amount of wear whilst not damaging the base material of the component.
