Why REGO-FIX powRgrip Is the Coolest Toolholding Tech Around! The REGO-FIX Group powRgrip® system is a high-precision, quick-change toolholding solution designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern machining applications. Technical Specifications: • Total Indicated Runout (TIR): The powRgrip system achieves a TIR of less than 0.0001 inches (≤3 µm) at 3 times the tool diameter, ensuring superior precision in machining operations. • Clamping Force: With a clamping torque of up to 1,100 Nm, powRgrip securely holds a wide range of tool shank diameters, from 0.0079 inches to 1.0 inch (0.2 to 25.4 mm), accommodating various machining requirements. • Length Adjustment Repeatability: The system offers length adjustment repeatability within 0.0004 inches (10 µm), facilitating consistent and accurate tool setups. • Clamping Time: Tool changes can be completed in under 10 seconds, significantly reducing downtime and enhancing productivity. • Balancing: REGO-FIX powRgrip toolholders are balanced by design to G 2.5 at 22,000 rpm for steep taper holders and up to 90,000 rpm for HSK holders, supporting high-speed machining applications. Advantages Over Shrink-Fit Systems 1. Precision and Runout: The powRgrip system’s superior TIR of ≤3 µm ensures higher machining accuracy compared to shrink-fit holders, which may experience greater runout over time due to thermal cycling. 2. Clamping Force and Torque: With a clamping torque of up to 1,100 Nm, powRgrip provides a more secure hold on the tool, reducing the likelihood of tool slippage during demanding operations. 3. Tool Change Efficiency: The quick-change capability of powRgrip allows for tool changes in under 10 seconds without the need for heating or cooling cycles, unlike shrink-fit systems that require time-consuming thermal processes. 4. Safety and Environmental Impact: PowRgrip operates without heat, eliminating the risks associated with high-temperature handling and reducing energy consumption, making it a safer and more environmentally friendly option. 5. Longevity and Maintenance: REGO-FIX guarantees the powRgrip system’s performance for 5 years or 20,000 cycles, maintaining consistent TIR and clamping force without degradation, whereas shrink-fit holders may lose effectiveness after repeated thermal cycles. Financial Considerations: • Reduced Tooling Costs: The longevity and consistent performance of powRgrip holders and collets minimize the need for frequent replacements, leading to lower overall tooling costs. • Increased Productivity: The rapid tool change capability reduces machine downtime, allowing for more efficient production schedules and higher output. • Energy Efficiency: Eliminating the need for heating elements, as required in shrink-fit systems, results in lower energy consumption and operational costs.
