REGO-FIX USA will spotlight its ForceMaster spindle drawbar pull-force tester and its powRgrip PGS 25 Automatic Tool Clamping Unit at Manufacturing Technology Series SOUTHEAST. The ForceMaster and the PGS 25 allow shops to maintain high precision and reliability in part machining operations, the company reported.
The ForceMaster is part of the REGO-FIX precision metrology line that helps ensure proper machine tool spindle drawbar pull-force, which is an important aspect of overall spindle preventive maintenance and performance. REGO-FIX developed its ForceMaster drawbar tester for shops with a variety of machine tools on the floor. With more than a dozen available adapters, ForceMaster works on virtually any machine tool spindle interface, including HSK, SK, BT, CAT and others.
ForceMaster features an IP67 certified dust and waterproof body ergonomically designed for a sure grip and comes with a protective case tough enough for the shop floor. In use, operators simply thread on the appropriate adapter, insert the tool into the machine spindle and push a switch.
ForceMaster easily integrates into digital production environments and is fully accessible via a mobile phone app available for Apple and Android devices. Shops can then mirror the tool's dashboard to perform measurements remotely, and all information is downloadable for analysis and tracking.
The REGO-FIX PGS 25 Automatic Clamping Unit provides shops a cost-effective entry point into the company's powRgrip (PG) toolholding system. Optimized for the single size PG 25, the PGS 25 is suited for shops that require frequent tool changes. The unit features a single button for clamping and releasing and is intuitive and easy to use. Switching between clamping and releasing is accomplished by simply rotating the unit's head.
"The REGO-FIX powRgrip system provides clamping power without hydraulics, heat or fumes associated with other toolholding systems and is incredibly fast for improved production," said a company spokesperson.
The PGS 25 clamps tools within five seconds and provides maximum clamping force and total system runout (TIR) of ≤ 3 µm at 3xD even after 20,000 tool changes.
