REGO-FIX USA will showcase its advanced toolholding solutions for manufacturers seeking enhanced precision, repeatability, and reliability in their machining processes at IMTS. The company will feature the original ER collet invented by REGO-FIX and its patented powRgrip toolholding system. Also on display will be an Ed Carpenter Racing (ECR) racecar, symbolic of REGO-FIX's ongoing sponsorship for the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES racing season.
"REGO-FIX toolholding systems provide Swiss-precision machining for all manufacturing sectors, including motorsports, aerospace, automotive and medical, through engineered solutions that deliver accuracy, rigidity, and repeatability in high-pressure environments that demand tight tolerances," said a company spokesperson.
Developed in Tenniken, Switzerland by REGO-FIX, the original ER collet is engineered for exceptional precision, versatility and reliability across a wide range of machining applications. Manufactured to stringent quality standards, REGO-FIX ER collets provide enhanced clamping force and concentricity for extending tool life while maintaining consistent part accuracy. The ER collet is available in multiple sizes and configurations to accommodate a broad clamping range, allowing shops to reduce tooling inventory.
The REGO-FIX powRgrip toolholding system uses a taper-to-taper, press-fit collet holding design that creates a vibration-damping gap to interrupt the strength and severity of vibration waves. Three components make up the powRgrip: holders, collets, and press-fit assembly mounting units.
"Toolsetting is accomplished in no more than 10 seconds without heat or hydraulics, as used in other tool clamping systems," said the spokesperson. "The powRgrip technology allows tools to be used immediately after the loading cycle concludes without the limitations and tool-life compromises of traditional clamping units."
As a special booth feature, REGO-FIX will have the ECR team's NTT INDYCAR Series racecar on display for attendees to experience up close and in person. The powRgrip toolholding system plays a key role in the team overcoming the unique challenges of high-speed machining operations. With the use of the company's toolholders, ECR has maintained precision and critical surface finishes, extended tool life, minimized tool runout, and shortened cycle times for its productive part processing.
"ECR is able to machine parts at full 24,000 RPM spindle speeds, which would be impossible without the powRgrip," noted the spokesperson. "As a result, jobs that once took two or three weeks to fulfill are now completed within a couple of hours.
