Vargus continues to offer new and updated solutions to the machining specialist.

Pilot Tools and Vardex hosted a seminar for customers, distributors and the local sales team in February 2015 at The Country Club Johannesburg, Auckland Park, Gauteng. William Jubran, Marketing and Business Manager of Vargus Israel, who has been with the company for 47 years, presented the seminar which covered Vardex thread turning and thread milling as well as showcasing the company’s latest product offerings.

Vargus, a pioneer in its field, developed the Vardex indexable laydown thread turning insert technology 50 years ago. The Vargus patented designs continue to be an industry standard, and the company now offers one of the largest ranges of thread turning solutions to the machining specialist with over 6000 different tools in the range.

The Vargus thread milling carbide metal cutting tool system has been recognised in the industry since its initial patented “trapezoidal” indexable system design was introduced. As CNC technology for milling threads races forward, and as thread milling becomes ever more popular as an excellent solution for manufacturing threads of many types, Vargus continues to offer new and updated solutions to the machining specialist.

Some of the latest product offerings showcased at the seminar included:

Mega Line – a new range of solutions for heavy-duty applications with extra large pitches. Encompassing a pitch range of 10 to 24 mm (2-1tpi), the new Mega Line tools feature an innovative insert design with a new geometry.

This version ensures that the most updated TT and TM Gen programs are always available online. Vargus GEN Desktop is a standalone software application for MS-Windows based operating systems that can be downloaded to customer computers.

MiTM Upgrade – new nickel coated toolholders for the complete line which provide better anti-rust protection.
