REGO-FIX adds MQL to powRgrip Toolholding System

REGO-FIX has introduced minimum quality lubrication (MQL) machining to its powRgrip (PG) toolholding system. This reduces coolant consumption and shortens cycle times for improved production and tool life.

MQL machining is a clean, sustainable manufacturing technique that directs an aerosol of compressed air and a minimal amount of cutting oil (<50 ml/h) directly to the cutting area. It has been shown to reduce cycle times by 25 to 85 per cent, improve chip evacuation for better surface finishes and tolerances, while also increasing tool life, according to the company.

Standardized MQL PG collets are designed for tool shanks according to DIN 69090-3 and available for HSK-A 63 and HSK-E 40 toolholders. They are designed for machines using one-channel, internal through-spindle MQL systems and are beneficial for virtually any machining application.

This tool uses a coolant tube fitted with a lance that directs the mixture through the collet and directly to the tool for efficient, reliable coolant distribution at the lowest consumption rate.
