REGO-FIX will introduce several precision tooling products, including a collet system for high-speed machining; an innovation for effective tool locking; a retrofit coolant-through system for live tooling; and a slip-proof clamping nut for sealing or cooling disks.
"REGO-FIX developed the new ER MicRun Collet System with the best combination of TIR, clamping force and ease of use in mind," said a company spokesperson. The entire system has a TIR of less than 0.00012" at 3 x D. The MicRun's self-locking design retains the collet in the nut for easier insertion and removal, with no extractor required. For enhanced repeatability and rigidity in challenging applications, REGO-FIX equipped the system with a thread that keeps the nut aligned with the holder. Suitable for high-speed machining, the MicRun is available in standard taper types as well as standard and mini-nut designs.
Part of REGO-FIX's powRgrip product line, secuRgrip is designed to bring simple, effective tool locking to challenging metal removal applications. This anti-pull system locks the collet and cutter to the toolholder body to eliminate cutter slippage. It does so via a patented locking system that includes a small, profiled locking key insert that fits into a standard Weldon endmill flat. powRgrip secuRgrip has a TIR of 0.0001" and enables manufacturers to preset their tool heights. REGO-FIX customers can modify their existing powRgrip holders for use with the system. The secuRgrip locking system is now also available for milling chucks.
The company's new retrofit reCool coolant-through system is designed to bring the benefits of internal cooling to the live tooling used in CNC turning operations. "Able to convert an existing tooling system to include through-coolant in as little as two minutes, reCool is much more effective in getting coolant to the cutting edge than spray pipes or nozzles," said the spokesperson. It achieves standard speeds up to 12,000 RPM and pressures up to 1,000 PSI. Higher speeds and coolant pressures are available upon request. With reCool, live tools featuring external threads (ISO 15488/DIN 6499) can machine faster and last longer, according to the company. The system also works in conjunction with REGO-FIX collets, sealing and coolant flush disks, milling cutters and drills with diameters from 0.098" to 1.2".
The new slip-proof ERMX mini clamping nuts from REGO-FIX feature a frontal milled slot on their outside diameter that mates to a corresponding wrench to prevent slippage during the tightening and loosening process. These new clamping nuts, which are suitable for the company's sealing or cooling disks, have a surface treatment for increased clamping force and a coating designed to prevent corrosion. ERMX works with ER collets in DIN 6499 and ISO 15488. According to the company, benefits include lower injury risks due to slip-proof clamping, internal and external cooling, improved chip removal, reduced tool costs and improved productivity.
Other toolholding products on display will include new short and long shank powRgrip collets that have been added to REGO-FIX's powRgrip toolholding system, as well as the company's newly expanded ER 50 sealing disk system.
