VanGear and the UltraTech Tandem

Many of VanGear’s customers are ISO certified. Therefore, the VanGear Arbor Systems team developed an in-house Quality Assurance and Quality Control program that meets or exceeds customers’ requirements.

  • To assure quality products the VanGear team utilizes state-of-the-art CNC Coordinate Measuring Machine technology with Gear Measuring Capabilities
  • VanGear adheres to a continuous improvement program that exceeds its customers’ highest standards and expectations

Arbor Sleeves are Divided into Sections

  • As one area of the arbor sleeve becomes worn down, the sleeve can be repositioned to establish a new saw running area
  • When a sleeve has worn down only a small 5” section requires replacement
  • Reduced sleeve consumption means lower replacement costs

Beyond the Competition

The innovative UltraTech Universal Arbor System is an industry-leading product engineered to optimize both lumber yield and mill performance. UltraTech’s benchmarked system continues to impress the industry as a result of VanGear’s persistent drive to research product and component efficiencies and effectiveness.

Splined Sleeves vs Keyed Sleeves

Keyed sleeves are unbalanced and have a weak point causing the sleeves to distort out of the industry required round shape.

The UltraTech System Splined Sleeves:

  • Are Naturally Balanced
  • Are Stronger
  • Maintain True Roundness.

The UltraTech System Splined Sleeves:

  • Are made from Superior Quality Raw Materials
  • Are Induction Hardened to the Maximum Possible Tooth Depth
  • Exhibit Dramatically Increased Sleeve Durability and Life
