A Special Message from REGO-FIX Tool Corp.

REGO-FIX Swiss Precision Tools

ER Collet	The REGO-FIX standard ER collet is the most widely used clamping system in the world. Originally created and patented in 1973 by REGO-FIX, it is ideal for a variety of machining applications including boring, milling, reaming, tapping and grinding.

powRgrip	The new powRgrip® system uses a mechanical clamping system to achieve a high clampingforce, unbeatable run-out, and the ability to use different size tools in the same holder. This new holder system consists of a toolholder, high precision collet, and a compact machine to insert the collet and tool into the holder. The specially designed collets are inserted with over 6 tons of force, creating gripping forces higher than shrink fit holders without the small tool size limitations and the dangers of using high temperature shrink systems. There is no longer a need to buy an expensive shrink holder for each tool, and tool changes take just seconds, instead of minutes.

REGO-FIX’s New Keyless BT Collet Holder Brings Revolutionary Technology to High-Speed Machining Indianapolis, Indiana, October 13, 2005 – REGO-FIX recently unveiled the newest edition to its line of toolholders, the keyless BT collet holder. REGO-FIX is one of the first companies to offer a toolholder that does not feature drive keys, resulting in a completely symmetrical toolholder ideal for the woodworking industry and many new high-speed machines requiring this special taper. And, like all REGO-FIX toolholders, the keyless BT toolholder is balanced by design and capable of up to 42,000 rpm. There are four different types (ER 16, ER 25, PG 15 and PG 25) of competitively-priced and coolant capable BT collet holders available in the ER and powRgrip series. This provides a wide range of flexible models for REGO-FIX customers. The ER series is the most widely used and accepted clamping system in the world, offering two levels of precision – standard and ultra-precision (UP). The BT collet holders in the ER series are compatible with both precision levels. In addition, the ER series BT collet holders can accurately clamp tool shanks ranging from 2mm (0.0787”) to 16mm (0.6299”). REGO-FIX’s revolutionary powRgrip system uses a toolholder and collet that can generate very high clamping forces higher than many shrink-fit holders. The BT collet holders in the powRgrip series will clamp tool shanks ranging from 2mm (0.0787”) to 20mm (0.7874”). Unlike other clamping systems where heat or hydraulics are used to expand the material, the powRgrip system uses the mechanical properties of the holder material to generate tremendous gripping force with run-out below 0.0001”. Product features include: • Robust in design and created from case-hardened steel, reducing wear and increasing tool life • Superior tool life and part quality due to unmatched T.I.R. accuracy • Steep taper accuracy to AT3 tolerances for highest precision, unsurpassed run-out and increased spindle pocket life • All toolholders contain grooves to which balancing rings may be added for additional balancing, if required

The Rego Plus dual-contact toolholders are fully compatible with Big-Plus spindles.

Micromachining Powder Metal on a VMC
By refining its micromachining process for powder metal tool steels, this shop has reduced production costs, lead times and secondary bench work for complex tooling components.

Precision Toolholding Solutions
The company’s Rego Plus line of toolholders is fully compatible with all Big Plus spindles and licensed by Big Daishowa.

Precision Toolholding Solutions
The company offers its swissQuick toolholding system for ER 8 to ER 25 collets and clamping ranges from 0.5 to 13 mm.

Dual-Contact Toolholders
The Rego Plus line of toolholders from Rego-Fix is licensed by BIG Dishowa and is designed for high-precision milling with virtually all BIG Plus spindles.

Toolholders for Capto Quick-Change Tooling
Rego-Fix offers Q+ System Capto toolholders that are manufactured using state-of-the-art measuring and grinding systems, the company says.

Extensions to Line of Toolholding Systems
Extensions to the powRgrip toolholding system include a cylindrical toolholder line that brings the benefits of the PG system to users of lathes and Swiss automatics.

High Clamping Force Toolholder
The powRgrip PG system uses a toolholder and collet to generate high clamping forces while maintaining a TIR of less than 0. 0001", the company says. The system is said to be ideal for high speed machining applications, and it can clamp tool shanks ranging to 1" in diameter.

Microbore Collets for High Clamping Force
The powRgrip PG system uses a toolholder and collet to generate a high clamping force while still maintaining a TIR of less than 0. 0001". The company says it takes less than 10 seconds to press in a tool or remove it from the holder.

Collet System Keeps Cool Under Pressure
Coolant-through tooling is becoming increasingly popular as manufacturers continue to search for new ways to maintain the tight tolerances, high accuracies and smooth surface finishes required for many of today’s jobs. While coolant-through spindles are now a standard feature on many new machines, the machines and tools themselves represent only part of the equation. The interface between the spindle and the tool—a properly sealed toolholder—is just as important.
