REGO-FIX Announces Improved Balancing of Toolholders



Indianapolis, Indiana, February 27, 2006 - REGO-FIX, a company committed to providing high-quality, Swiss precision toolholding products, announces superior balancing of its Q+- System of steep taper and HSK toolholders through specialized low distortion hardening processes and precision balancing methods. The steep taper toolholders are now pre-balanced to G2.5 at 22,000 rpm, while the HSK toolholders reach G2.5 at 25,000 rpm.

Balanced by design, REGO-FIX's next generation toolholders are ideal for high speed machining applications, and offer an extensive taper selection including CAT, BT, HSK, TC and ISO versions. To ensure quality performance, all REGO-FIX toolholders undergo a series of tests to maximize machine profitability. The toolholders are measured at four times the diameter of the tool, which ensures exceptional tolerances. Company standards dictate that tapers are measured in three key areas before achieving AT3 tolerances.

Other product features include:
· Robust in design and created from case-hardened steel, reducing wear and increasing tool life
· Optimal for fine tuning balance up to 42,000 rpm
· Wide range of flexible models
· 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
· Thread tolerance control for improved clamping forces
· All toolholders contain grooves to which balancing rings may be added for additional balancing, if required

REGO-FIX toolholders and other Swiss precision tools offer the ultimate in precision, balancing and tool life. All REGO-FIX components are designed to work together interchangeably, which guarantees maximum balancing and a TIR of 0.0001" or better.
