Rego-Fix PowRgrip Toolholding System Offers Superior Vibration Damping for Precision Machining!

Rego-Fix USA’s PowRgrip toolholding system is making waves in the world of precision machining with its innovative design that enhances tool stability, reduces vibrations, and improves machining performance. The system, designed to offer superior clamping force and effective vibration damping, has become a vital tool for industries looking to improve part accuracy, reduce cycle times, and ensure repeatability in their manufacturing processes.

The PowRgrip system utilizes a taper-to-taper, press-fit collet holding design, which creates a vibration-damping gap. This gap works by interrupting the strength and severity of vibration waves during machining, significantly reducing the impact of vibrations on the cutting tool and workpiece. Vibrations, especially in high-speed machining operations, can lead to tool wear, poor surface finishes, and even part inaccuracies. By using this technology, manufacturers can mitigate these issues, leading to longer tool life, better precision, and higher-quality surface finishes.

The PowRgrip system is composed of three main components: the toolholders, collets, and press-fit assembly mounting units. These parts work seamlessly together to provide high-performance toolholding, ensuring that tools remain secure and stable during operation. One of the standout features of the PowRgrip system is its ease of use. Toolsetting is accomplished in a mere 10 seconds, and unlike other tool-clamping systems, it requires no heat or hydraulics. This not only simplifies the setup process but also minimizes the chances of tool-life compromises that are often seen in other systems that rely on heat or hydraulic pressure.

Another key benefit of the PowRgrip system is its versatility. It is capable of accommodating cutters up to 40 mm (1.500″) in diameter and can handle tool lengths up to three times the tool diameter (3 × D). The system ensures total indicated runout (TIR) of under 3 microns (0.0001″) for these tool lengths, ensuring precision and consistency across a range of machining operations. This degree of precision is particularly crucial in industries such as aerospace, medical, and other fields where exact tolerances and high-quality surface finishes are non-negotiable.

Rego-Fix’s PowRgrip system is particularly useful in industries where high-performance and stable toolholding are paramount. From aerospace manufacturing, where precision and part accuracy are critical, to medical device manufacturing, where surface finish and tight tolerances are essential, the PowRgrip system helps companies efficiently produce parts to exact specifications. The reduction in vibrations, coupled with the high clamping force, allows manufacturers to achieve smoother, more reliable machining operations and better surface finishes with minimal tool wear.

In addition to improving cycle times and part accuracy, the PowRgrip system also contributes to the overall repeatability of the machining process. The system’s ability to maintain tool stability and reduce vibrations throughout the machining cycle makes it an ideal choice for manufacturers looking to produce consistent, high-quality results across multiple parts or batches.

Jeff Schemel, General Manager of Rego-Fix, emphasizes the importance of reducing cycle times, improving part accuracy, and maintaining process repeatability in today’s competitive manufacturing environment. “From aerospace to medical and all industries in between, the PowRgrip system helps companies efficiently manufacture each part to exact tolerances and with extraordinary surface finishes,” Schemel states.

With its impressive design and performance capabilities, the Rego-Fix PowRgrip toolholding system is helping manufacturers across various industries optimize their machining processes, improve tool life, and achieve high-quality, precision parts. Its combination of vibration damping, high clamping force, and ease of use makes it a top choice for companies striving to improve their manufacturing efficiency and product quality.
