KG has based its entire production on a single toolholding system: powRgrip ® . The company in northern Germany has experienced firsthandedly the flexibility of powRgrip ® , its runout accuracy and speed. Improving efficiency and reducing costs “In the course of a machine and tooling technology changeover to solid carbide high-speed tools in 2009. We made our initial investment in the powRgrip ® toolholding system, which established the basis for our highly innovative production,” explained Holger Kraeft, Managing Director of Deicken & Engels. Remarkable flexibility “Initially, the focus was on setting up cutting data and the acquisition of new machines and tools, whereas the next step now is the optimization process improving efficiency, reducing costs, and saving time.” This is where powRgrip ® plays a central role in Stuhr, because the toolholding system from REGO-FIX is the only system used in the entire production. Just one system for grinding, finishing, roughening, and thread-cutting – proof of the high flexibility of powRgrip ® . In the meantime, two powRgrip ® units are used for all applications in the production. This is all the more noteworthy, because Deicken & Engels serves a very broad diversity of customers and industries. Thus handling a wide variety of materials and work processes. Workmaterial flexibility Materials such as aluminium alloys, common structural steels, stainless steels, high-strength alloys, plastics, forged stainless steels, and special steels with high tensile strengths of up to 1,200 N/mm 2 are difficult to machine, but they can all be mastered with powRgrip ® . After years of use, no one at Deicken & Engels can recall a time in which they could not count on the strengths of powRgrip ® – with its runout accuracy and holding force. The set up (tool change times) and the question of how to save time were also an important emphasis at the northern German company. Deicken & Engels operates with the strategy of always keeping 60 basic tools in the machine. Before powRgrip ® , all the tools in the machine had to be changed out. Now the contract manufacturer works with powRgrip ® won us over from the very beginning – and has continued to do so over the years – with its high holding forces, the possibility of internal cooling, and its speed. powRgrip ® covers everything.
