Next Generation Tooling Showcased
August 1, 2016
At IMTS 2016, REGO-FIX will unveil new tooling technologies along with next generation products. The company will show its new intRlox Mini Nut slip proof clamping system. Other featured technologies include reCoolMini, a retrofittable coolant-through system for use on Swiss-style machines and Rigid Holders for cutting applications that use powRgrip clamping systems.
For those shops in need of safer tool changeouts, the REGO-FIX intRlox Mini Nuts helps to guarantee wrenches, once properly engaged, will not slip off the ER collet nuts. To make it easier for those shops to exchange existing Swiss machine tooling to this system, REGO-FIX has designed new nut and wrench sets that will be displayed at IMTS.
The smaller size intRlox nuts feature an anti-slip design that uses rounded locking grooves situated around the nut profiles as opposed to end face surfaces. Wrenches grip from the sides of the nuts and the action of tightening or loosening temporarily locks wrenches in place.
As a complement to its original reCool system for water-based coolants, REGO-FIX has designed a new system to also work with oil coolants primarily used by Swiss-style turning machines. The new reCool Mini converts existing live turret tooling with ERM mini threads to include through-coolant capabilities in about two minutes. "The system gets coolant to the cutting edge more effectively than spray pipes or nozzles, and thus easily removes heat from the cutting zone and contributes to enhanced surface finishes, longer tool life, improved chip control and increased productivity," said a company spokesperson.
"Newly designed Rigid Holders are over 1.5 times more rigid than a standard configuration," said the spokesperson. "The increased rigidity helps provide high security toolholding in high-feed rate milling and high-cutting force applications. Higher rigidity in these holders leads to less holder deflection and improved cutting performance for demanding operations." Rigid Holders enable the use of higher feed rates for increased metal removal rates while maintaining accuracy and high-quality surface finishes. Rigid Holders are currently available only for powRgrip systems.
