REGO-FIX USA developed its powRgrip system for high performance and stable toolholding when machining parts made from all types of materials. It delivers the most effective clamping force and vibration damping combination in the market.
The powRgrip system uses a taper-to-taper, press-fit collet holding design that creates a vibration-damping gap to interrupt the strength and severity of vibration waves. Three components make up the powRgrip system: holders, collets and press-fit assembly mounting units. Toolsetting is accomplished in no more than 10 seconds without heat or hydraulics used in other tool-clamping systems. REGO-FIX’s powRgrip technology allows tools to be used immediately after the clamping cycle concludes without the limitations and tool-life compromises of other systems.
REGO-FIX offers powRgrip systems that accommodate cutters up to 40mm (1.500") in diameter and ensures total indicated runout (T.I.R.) of under 3 microns (0.0001") for tool lengths up to 3x diameter.
“Reducing cycle times, improving part accuracy and maintaining process repeatability is top of mind for all manufacturers,” says Jeff Schemel REGO-FIX’s general manager, USA. “From aerospace to medical and all industries in between, the powRgrip system helps companies efficiently manufacture each part to exact tolerances and with extraordinary surface finishes.”
