Typical Flame Cutting - uses commercially available, off-the-shelf machines
Poor tooth-to-tooth spacing.
Surface blemishes such as gouges, tears, slags and lumps commonly occur.
Teeth are not square.
The result: The poor quality of typical flame cut components often results in poor chain engagement; noisy operation; excessive wear; and uneven load patterns.
Cold Machining - uses expensive, large scale equipment
Excellent quality, but long lead times, high minimum orders and cost-prohibitive rates often make cold machining unrealistic for many OEMs.
The result: Great quality, but you'll pay for it in time and cost
Cogmatic Flame Machining Technology - uses proprietary machines to create accurate parts
Accurate tooth spacing throughout the sprocket circumference
Controlled cutting speed assures a smooth finish
Precise square tooth profile every time
The result: Accurate chain engagement; reduced noise; even wear; and proper loading patterns. |
