This specially-selected distributor network enables customers of the Vargus Threading Solution partner program to tap into an inexhaustible supply of threading expertise and to achieve benefits such as the following.
* Reduced cycle and set-up times in the creation of screw threads by thread milling on horizontal and vertical machining centres, rather than by the traditional route of drilling and tapping.
* Eliminated workpiece scrap caused by tap breakage.
* Lower overall tool costs by threading and chamfering using the same tool, and via minimised tool stocks.
Vargus Threading Solution Providers also offer a comprehensive range of market-leading tooling, including the innovative Vardex HeliCool-C and HeliCool-R: the former for thread milling and chamfering in a single operation.
The tools therefore reduce tooling requirements and tool changes and, as a result, tooling costs; and the latter for the consistent production of high-quality holes when conventional through-coolant is ineffective.
Also available, the Multi-flute Indexable Thread Mill (MiTM) is designed to reduce cycle times on the generation of large threads through the use of long inserts and multiple flute holders.
