Original Press Release:
REGO-FIX® powRgrip® - Proven Toolholding Innovation
Indianapolis, Indiana, July 6, 2006 - The proven powRgrip® collet system by REGO-FIX® has set a new industry standard for toolholding. This revolutionary new system uses a toolholder and collet that can generate very high clamping forces greater than many shrink-fit holders.
The powRgrip system includes a holder, collet and mini-press that generates six tons of force. The system relies on the interference between holder and collet to generate 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". Interchangeable collets are available from 1/8" up to ¾", including metric sizes, and will hold both carbide and HSS tools.
The system is 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. Cycle testing exceeded over 20,000 insertions and removals, outperforming other systems on the market.
