One tool thread mills and chamfers
Recent additions to a tooling range include a tool that thread mills and chamfers in one operation and a cutter that mills exact 90 deg shoulders and high surface finishes on aluminium components.
Thread mill tooling avoids titanium problems
Thread milling tooling is not only enabling a sub-contract machinist of orthopaedic components to avoid in situ broken tools and machine titanium parts in a single set-up 'with total confidence'.
The rise has been partly due to a series of new product developments for Vardex thread milling and turning, said general manager Stuart Hogg, "Along with our existing ranges for high precision threading, grooving and boring in diameters as small as 2.5mm.
These have proved popular in companies of all sizes across all industry sectors."Based in Telford, UK, Vargus is a service orientated distributor of quality tooling for turning, milling, drilling, threading and grooving applications, as well as spindle nose tooling and hand deburring tools, and in recent months has announced a series of new products.
These include the innovative Vardex HeliCool-C and HeliCool-R.
HeliCool-C is designed to thread mill and chamfer in a single operation, therefore reducing both tooling requirements and tool changes and, as a result, tooling costs.
It features three or four flutes and 12 or 14 teeth, depending on diameter, as well as through-hole coolant supply.
The tooling can be supplied with Vardex TM Gen Software that generates the program for both the thread and the chamfer.
The HeliCool-R helical fluted thread mill with radial cooling has been developed to consistently produce high-quality holes when conventional through-coolant is ineffective.
It does this by directing coolant out of the sides of the tool (rather than through the centre) so coolant is directed in a controlled manner straight onto the cutting edge.
While this will be of particular benefit when thread milling high temperature alloys, another major benefit is that swarf pick-up on horizontal machining centres is eliminated.
HeliCool-C and HeliCool-R are available in diameters from 5mm to 10.3mm and are able to produce M6 to M12 bores, and both are currently being offered in special promotions by Vargus.
