The History - VanGear UltraTech Universal Saw Arbor System


UltraTech released in 2000

Complete system with components precisely

engineered to work together

Consists of specially designed

Mandrel

Arbor Sleeves

Saw Blades

Saw Centering Device

Savings, Profitsand ROI

Revolutionary Performance

Mills are faced with many problems:

Slow, costly saw and arborchange-out times

Easily damaged, quick-wearing

saws and arbors High saw deviation resulting in excessive

product waste

UltraTech is the solution to these problems

Technical Innovations Beyond the Competition

Unparalleled Quality

VanGear precisely engineers and machines allof the components of the UltraTech systemincluding:

Mandrel

Arbor Sleeves Saw Eyes

Saw Centering Device


17/32



This allows for:

Smoother operation / less vibration

Longer product life

Shorter maintenance times

Lower product replacement Increased lumber yield

Components are readily available

How does VanGear and the UltraTech STACK UP

With many of our customers ISO certified wehave developed our own in-house QA/QCprogram that meets their requirements

To assure quality products we utilize a state ofthe art CNC Coordinate Measuring Machine,with Gear Measuring Capabilities

We adhere to a continuous improvementprogram that exceeds our customers highest

standards


20/32


Unparalleled Design

Arbor sleeves are divided into sections

If one area of the arbor sleeve is worn downthe sleeve can be repositioned to establish anew saw running area

When a sleeve has worn down only a small 5section needs to be replaced

Reduced sleeve consumption means lowerreplacement costs


21/32



Our innovative UltraTech System is a high

quality product engineered to optimize both

yield and performance

Keyed sleeves are unbalanced and have a weak

point causing them to distort out of round

UltraTech splined sleeves are naturally

balanced, stronger and maintain true

roundness


22/32



Our UltraTech sleeves are made from highquality raw materials and are inductionhardened to the maximum possible toothdepth, dramatically increasing sleevedurability and life
