Xtrujog

TM

XtruJog (XJ) is a CNC joggling machine that utilizes universal die blocks for hot and cold joggling of curved and straight extrusions, eliminating the need for part specific tooling and dies. Using CNC control, XJ is capable of forming a vast range of commonly encountered joggles on many commonly used extrusion cross-sections while saving on setup time and floor space.

XtruJog

Automated closed-loop precision joggling machine
- PLC control of joggle cycle and joggle depth (up to 0.5”), controlled accurately to 0.001”
- Handwheels and sensors for setting joggle length and angle
Shear type joggling with 15-ton shear force capacity
Horizontal and/or vertical joggles, in any vector defined direction

Quick change jaws for C-, Z- and other non-standard cross sections
Joggle length (0-2"), and angle across bend (0-10°)
Software guided setup for joggling of straight and curved extrusions
Full-featured user-friendly GUI with step-by-step guide for part programming
Database of extrusion cross-sections and part programs

Instead of using a part-specific tool for each joggle geometry, XtruJog uses two independent hydraulic vises that can move with respect to each other to create any programmed joggle geometry. This capability allows the machine to handle joggling on both straight and curved parts without any tool or setup change.

The two vises contain a die cavity consisting of four soft jaws, gripping the extrusion at the joggle start and end planes. These quick-change soft jaws allow the machine to be able to quickly switch to handle various non-standard cross sections.

The clamping arrangement applies significantly higher force compared to conventional joggling presses, reducing the chances of creating common joggle defects due to sliding, kinking, dishing, etc. Once secured, CNC controls offset the vises to form the joggle. Throughout the cycle, the system measures joggle depth and automatically compensates for springback before removing the part from the machine. The correction then can be applied to part program, eliminating the need for time consuming tool modifications.
