REGO-FIX USA’s tool clamping/unclamping unit, the PGA (automatic) 9500, is automation-ready and provides a simple way to automate the tool setup process when using the popular REGO-FIX powRgrip toolholding system. As such, it allows tools to be set up unmanned and around-the-clock.
For seamless integration, the PGA 9500 easily connects via a robot to other equipment as well as to tool storage areas. Its automatic door and easily controllable clamping device make the PGA 9500 well suited for working within existing automation systems. Its space-saving design, safe operation and the fact that it generates no heat or hazardous fumes make the clamping unit the ideal solution even in limited spaces.
REGO-FIX developed its powRgrip system for stable toolholding when machining parts made from all types of materials. The system’s press-fit toolholding delivers higher precision, with greater vibration damping for longer tool life and superior part surface finishes.
PG system tool clamping/unclamping units use automated toolsetters that load a tool into a holder in under 10 seconds, ready for immediate use. The units achieve a 1,100Nm clamping torque rating, the industry's highest, and their 0.0001" TIR is guaranteed throughout five years or 20,000 toolsetting cycles.
