Press Release Summary:
Comprised of toolholder and collet, powRgrip® PG 32 uses mechanical properties of holder material to generate gripping force with run-out below 0.0001 in. Available in metric and inch diameters up to 25 mm and 1 in., respectively, system is suited for high speed machining applications, and offers range of taper selection, including CAT, BT, HSK and TC versions. It takes less than 10 sec to press in any tool or remove it from holder.
Original Press Release:
REGO-FIX® powRgrip® PG 32 Offers Expanded Clamping Range
Revolutionary Product to be Featured in Booth F-2481 at IMTS 2008
Indianapolis, Indiana, July 14, 2008 - 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.
