This modular device comes with adapters for various spindle interfaces and features app-based machine park management, data management, export capabilities, and visual documentation, integrating seamlessly into digital production environments.
Spindle Cleaner: The Spindle Cleaner simplifies maintenance by effectively removing rust from machine spindles. Its straightforward design ensures that machines remain in top condition, reducing downtime and maintaining efficiency.
With this, REGO-FIX wrapped up successfully at INTEC 2024 showcasing their years of success stories. They also gave an example of how they met the evolving needs of their customers, fostering long-lasting partnerships, and maintaining the highest standards of Swiss craftsmanship. Over the decades, the company has consistently pushed the boundaries of engineering, creating groundbreaking products like the ER collet chuck and the powRgrip system. Their commitment to sustainability and technological advancement has not only driven their success but also set industry standards worldwide.
REGO-FIX began its remarkable journey in 1950 when Fritz Weber founded the one-man company ‘Fritz Weber Feinmechanik und Werkzeugbau’ in Reigoldswil, Switzerland. The company’s first product, a broomholder, set the foundation for what would become a legacy of innovation and quality in toolholding solutions. As it grew, REGO-FIX saw early growth and vision from 1950-1970 as it expanded into a new factory.
The 1960s marked a period of diversification and success with products like the cheese cutting machine and yoghurt bottling machine. Innovation took centre stage from 1972 to 1980, as there was continuous development of new prototypes and accessories to meet growing customer demands. REGO-FIX continued its pioneering journey in the 1980s, acquiring a CNC 4-axis lathe from Okuma, which marked a significant technological milestone. In 1988, the company expanded its global footprint by establishing an American branch office, bringing Swiss-made quality to the US market.
The early 2000s saw the launch of the innovative powRgrip system, designed for high-precision and high-speed applications. The micRun system, introduced in 2014, and other innovations like reCool and secuRgrip, further solidified the company’s reputation. REGO-FIX marked the 50th anniversary of the ER collet in 2022, celebrating a revolutionary invention that has become integral to machining centers worldwide. The company continued its global expansion in 2023, inaugurating subsidiaries in Mexico, Brazil, Italy, India, and Japan to better serve local markets.
