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
