Gear Milling System
At IMTS 2016, Vargus USA will launch a standard line of indexable and solid carbide gear milling tools for a wide range of gear, spline and rack manufacturing applications. These high precision tools are suitable for machining straight and helical Class 11 AGMA gears ranging from DP 128.0-4.0, ANSI B92.1 involute splines ranging from DP 48/96-4/8 and ISO 14 straight splines. Vargus solid carbide tools range from DP 52-13, and are an excellent solution for machining close to a shoulder. The Vargus Gear Milling System is easy to set up on standard 3.5 axis CNC milling machines and produces a minimum of 50 percent reduction in cycle time compared to traditional hob milling.
