Esco Tool Debuts Modular COHOG Split Frame System
Engineers at Holliston-based Esco Tool have launched a modular tooling system for the COHOG split frame machine, designed to streamline pipe preparation through a simplified trip mechanism. The new setup allows operators to perform parting and beveling simultaneously while minimizing downtime during configuration changes.
The COHOG system utilizes specialized bevel modules that bolt directly onto a tool slide, incorporating two-sided TiN-coated blade inserts to extend service life. By integrating a preset gib plate within the carriage, the machine eliminates side-to-side wobble, ensuring chatter-free performance during high-precision cuts. The available module range covers primary and secondary parting, along with standard 30-degree and 37.5-degree bevel configurations, including compound angles.
Designed for versatility across diverse industrial environments, the machine squares itself to the pipe via a clamping system. It is available in eight distinct sizes, accommodating outside diameters ranging from 2 to 48 inches. Each unit features a marked pin location on the trip mechanism to ensure alignment across all tool slides. Pricing for the COHOG series starts at $14,995, with units currently available for both purchase and rental through Esco Tool headquarters in Massachusetts.
