Rego-Fix Toolholding System Provides Effective Vibration Damping

Rego-Fix USA’s PowRgrip toolholding system is designed for high performance and stable toolholding when machining parts made from all types of materials. It is designed to provide effective clamping force and vibration damping.

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: toolholders, 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 enables 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 40 mm (1.500") in diameter and ensures total indicated runout of under 3 microns (0.0001") for tool lengths up to 3 × D.

“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. “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.”
