Background Information:
The CAT system utilizes a proven 'fast taper' (7:24) self-releasing format and is common among American machine tools. Note that ISO, CAT, BT, and SK are NOT interchangeable even though they use the same basic taper!.
The CAT+ modification adds flange/face contact for improved rigidity and accuracy.
The classic PG collet design, perfect for all standard machining applications, guaranteed for 5 years / 20,000 clamping cycles with proper procedure and h6 tool shanks.
Company History:
The beginning of what has become Rego-Fix was Fritz Weber founding "Fritz Weber Feinmechanik und Werkzeugbau" in Reigoldswil, Switzerland in 1950. His first serially manufactured product was a broomholder; a humble origin that has shaped the company's history for many years. By 1955 the company employed 15 people and began to venture into toolmaking, and by 1970 also had become a successful brand in cheese cutting, as well as yoghurt and gas bottling machines. In 1972 Rego-Fix invented the ER machine collet system, the innovation which would make the company world-renown. Interestingly, the mechanism for the ER collet system had been used in broom handles from the beginning, but the application to machine tools was much more important. Tool holding technology was continuously developed by the company since that moment, and has produced an additional revolutionary system, PowRgrip. Today Rego-Fix is recognized at the top level of premium brands in the machining industry.
