reCool® by REGO-FIX

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a comprehensive overview of the reCool® system by REGO-FIX, designed for retrofitting internal cooling systems in machining tools. It highlights the benefits, features, and applications of reCool® in various industrial settings, particularly in the automotive industry.
Key Features:
  • Peripheral Cooling: Utilizes coolant flush disk KS/ER to direct coolant along the tool's side, suitable for moderate cavities.
  • Internal Cooling: Employs sealing disk DS/ER for precise cooling at the cutting edge, ideal for deep cavities and improved chip removal.
  • External Flood Cooling: Offers universal application but may reduce tool life due to suboptimal cooling at the cutting edge.
reCool® ERAX and RCR:
  • Designed for driven tools with inner threads, supporting high pressure and RPM.
  • Facilitates cost-effective conversion to through-coolant systems, enhancing tool life and productivity.
Benefits in Automotive Industry:
  • Increases productivity by reducing manufacturing time and costs.
  • Enables high-quality part production with retrofitting capabilities for existing machines.
Case Studies:
  • Customer 1: Achieved a 700% increase in coolant pressure and a 300% increase in parts per day.
  • Customer 2: Reduced working time by 50% and increased spindle speed by 100%.
  • Customer 3: Increased daily output by 400% and reduced production costs by 75%.
User Report: Sumec AG successfully retrofitted their CNC machining centers with reCool®, achieving shorter lead times and greater flexibility in production.
Technical Specifications:
  • Available for collet sizes ER 11 to ER 40, supporting speeds up to 40,000 rpm and pressures up to 150 bar.
  • Compatible with both static and rotary applications, offering flexibility in setup and maintenance.
Accessories: Includes various adapters, hoses, and fittings to enhance the system's versatility and application range.
Specifications: The reCool® adapter RC-ADP is available in various sizes, each with specific dimensions and thread types. The document lists part numbers, diameters, lengths, and thread specifications for each adapter type. Additionally, it includes details on the reCool® rotary coolant supply system (RCR) and its compatibility with different driven tools.
Usage Instructions: To use the reCool® adapter, it should be screwed into the driven tool with the advised tightening torque. The rotary coolant supply system is then connected, and the tool is clamped in the RCR. The document emphasizes the importance of ensuring adequate coolant pressure to prevent damage to the reCool® bearings.
Components and Accessories: The document lists various components such as Steelflex hoses, hollow bolts, and sealing disks, each with specific part numbers and dimensions. It also includes information on torque wrenches and slip-off proof extensions designed for use with the reCool® system.
Performance Parameters: The reCool® system supports a maximum pressure of 100 bar and a maximum RPM of 12,000 for standard applications, with high-speed variants supporting up to 40,000 RPM. The system is compatible with both emulsion and oil-based coolants and features coatings to reduce friction.
Recommendations: The document advises ensuring coolant flow before rotating the reCool® system and maintaining adequate coolant pressure to ensure effective cooling and lubrication. It also suggests alternative products like the RCR ERAX for specific applications.
Specifications and Procedures: This document provides technical specifications and procedures related to toolholding systems, specifically focusing on the balance between tool size and RCR (Radial Clamping Range) size. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balance where the RCR is as small as possible but large enough to meet requirements. Detailed graphs are provided to assist in determining the correct tool size and pressure settings for optimal throughput.
Graphs and Data Interpretation: The document includes several graphs illustrating the relationship between pressure (in bar) and throughput (in liters per minute) for various tool sizes. Key points for interpreting these graphs include identifying the tool size, understanding that shorter tools have higher throughput, and ensuring the RCR balance is correct by comparing tool side and bearing output side graphs.
Standards and Certifications: REGO-FIX AG adheres to Swiss quality standards and holds several ISO certifications: ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management, and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety. These certifications reflect the company's commitment to high standards in manufacturing and safety.
Contact and Legal Information: The document concludes with contact information for REGO-FIX AG, encouraging communication for expertise sharing. It also includes legal disclaimers regarding the use and reproduction of the document, emphasizing that it should not be used for purposes other than those intended by the company.
