What is the powRgrip® system?
The REGO-FIX® powRgrip® system uses a mechanical clamping system to achieve a high clamping force, unbeatable run-out, and the ability to use different size tools in the same holder. This holder system consists of a toolholder, high precision collet, and a compact machine to insert the collet and tool into the holder. The specially designed collets are inserted with over 6 tons of force, creating gripping forces higher than shrink fit holders without the small tool size limitations and the dangers of using high temperature shrink systems. powRgrip uses pressure not heat like the expensive shrink holder for each tool, and tool changes take just seconds, instead of minutes.
REGO-FIX® developed powRgrip® system and released it for sale in late 2000.
