Designed to provide a greater clamping range for its customers, REGO-FIX® introduces powRgrip® PG 32, the latest expansion to the company’s powRgrip toolholding system. Unmatched in the industry, REGO-FIX's revolutionary powRgrip PG 32 system uses a toolholder and collet to generate the highest clamping force in the industry – higher than any shrink-fit holder – while still maintaining a T.I.R of less than 0.0001”.
powRgrip PG 32 gives customers the ability to clamp tool shanks ranging up to 1" in diameter, an increase from the previous maximum clamping capacity of .75". Additionally, the toolholding system is ideal for high speed machining applications, and offers an extensive taper selection, including CAT, BT, HSK and TC versions. Like all powRgrip toolholders, the PG 32 is balanced by design, improving part quality and surface finish, and lowering manufacturing costs.
The PG 32 collet is inserted into the holder using a table-top mini-press that generates nine tons of force. Available in both metric and inch diameters up to 1" (25mm), the system relies on the interference between the holder and collet to create its clamping force.
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”. Designed for easy operation and use, it takes less than 10 seconds to press in a tool or remove it from the holder. Because no heat is used, tools can be used immediately after a tool change.

The compact tabletop units are suitable for all tool measuring and presetting applications, and do not require any special computer or programming knowledge.
The TM10 Presetters were designed to be on the shop floor next to the machines. The ability to have the presetter next to the machine and not in a separate room positively impacts productivity levels on the low-cost system.
The Toolmaster TM10 line also uses electronic parallel correction. Since this function is not performed manually, the user has the ability to make quick, any time, parallelism corrections without complicated mechanical adjustments. The Toolmaster line also produces run-out less than 0.00008” with its patented Needle Bearing Basket. The tool taper rides on the needle bearings, which allows dust and debris to pass through. With 2% taper contact, the debris or scratches in the toolholder will not effect the measurement.
The affordable Toolmaster TM 10 line ranges from the least expensive, basic model to models with more advanced and user-friendly electronic features.
