Rego-Fix USA Offers Tool Clamping System for Stability and Precision
Rego-Fix USA developed its powRgrip system for stable toolholding when machining parts made from all types of materials. Whether machining firearms or tactical gear, the powRgrip’s press-fit toolholding delivers higher precision, with greater vibration damping for longer tool life and superior surface part finishes.
The powRgrip tool clamping/unclamping units use automated toolsetters and load a tool into a holder in under 10 seconds and are ready for immediate use. The units achieve a 1,100 Nm clamping torque rating, the industry's highest, and their 0.0001" TIR is guaranteed throughout five years or 20,000 toolsetting cycles. The technology uses neither heat nor hydraulics, so tools are safe to handle immediately after the clamping cycle concludes. The Rego-Fix clamping methodology avoids the limitations and tool-life compromises of other systems.
At a recent firearms show, Rego-Fix highlighted several advanced coolant management systems engineered to overcome the thermal, lubrication and chip-control challenges faced in modern machining. These include PG Cryogen (CO₂) cooling for temperature-sensitive materials, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) technology for cleaner machining and reduced fluid consumption, and external coolant delivery options that improve chip evacuation and process stability. The company will also feature its metallic-sealed ER-DM collets for applications requiring reliable coolant sealing and high-pressure delivery.
“Meeting modern firearms manufacturing demands requires faster machining, tighter tolerances, and unwavering repeatability,” says Jeff Schemel, Rego-Fix general manager, USA. “Our powRgrip system empowers manufacturers to achieve superior accuracy and consistent surface finishes on every part they produce.”
