Safety1.
1.1 General Safety Advises
The safety representative of the company has to guarantee the following conditions:
•Only qualified personnel are assigned to operate the machines and devices.
•The personnel should have the operating manual at their disposal inclusive of other
product documents at any time when working with the machine. These documents
should be regularly reviewed. Unskilled personnel is not to be allowed to operate the
machines and devices.
•In addition, the rules and regulations for the prevention of accidents at the site of
operation must be observed and inspection and maintenance work performed.
Only qualified personnel, who, due to their professional training, experience, instructions as well
as their knowledge of relevant standards, stipulations, rules for the prevention of accidents and
operating conditions, are responsible for the safety of the plant and are allowed to do the
necessary work and thereby to recognize and to avoid possible risks, may work on the machine.
The responsibilities of personnel are clearly defined for installation, commissioning, operating,
setup, transport, storage, maintenance and repair.
Personnel to be trained must only work on the system under the supervision of a qualified
operator.
The following pages describe the basic safety instructions and the safety regulations, with these
safety instructions no claim is made to the completeness.
1.2 Danger when Operating the System or Subassemblies
The machine or subassembly is constructed according to the latest state-of-the-art and the
recognised safety regulations. Danger to the operator or to others, or damage to the system or
other material damage through improper handling or use can however arise during its operation.
The system must only be operated:
•for the intended purpose.
•in a safe condition.
Faults which can affect safety must be eliminated immediately.
1.3 Safety and Protective Devices
•All protective devices must be properly mounted and be in working order each time
before starting the system.
•Protective devices may only be removed after the system has been shut-down and
secured against re-start.
•The lever of the door and the operating elements must be freely accessible.
1.4 Personal Protection and Organizational Measures
•The operator is responsible for personal protection devices.
•All safety devices must be checked regularly.

1.5 Appropriate Use
The system and components may only be used under the appropriate operating conditions. The
system is to be used exclusively for clamping and unclamping of tools for machine tools
according to the detailed specifications in the manual under section 2.1.
All other use is considered inappropriate. Consequently, the manufacturer does not take any
responsibility for damaged caused by inappropriate use.
Appropriate use means, among other things:
•To follow all recommendations mentioned in the Operating Instructions.
•To adhere to the inspection and maintenance requirements.

We do not take any responsibility for damages caused by inappropriate use.
Inappropriate use includes, but is not limited to:
•Use of non-powRgrip® tooling systems or tools not meeting the required quality grades or
types.
•Connection and operation of other applications.
•All intentions of using the powRgrip® clamping unit on live items.
•Clamping or unclamping without using an APG clamping insert or without powRgrip®tool
holder, or powRgrip®collet without tool.
•Clamping or unclamping of the powRgrip®tool holder and powRgrip®collet without tool.
1.7 Danger and Information Symbols
All information concerning safety is highlighted by warning symbols "DANGER", "CAUTION" to
point out possible personal injury, or with "NOTE" symbols to point out possible mechanical
damage.
DANGER
Danger symbol: contains information about a hazard which leads to death or
serious personal injuries if not avoided.
CAUTION

1.8 Danger by Hydraulic Energy
•Only specially trained personnel with a good knowledge of and experience in hydraulics
may only carry out working on the hydraulic equipment.
•The system works with a pressure of max. 155 bar. Parts of the system such as pressure
hoses and valves have to be depressurised before the start of any repairs. It is not safe
to have any pressure left in the system.
•Hydraulic flexible tubes should be replaced regularly, even if they show no obvious
defects (see chapter 11).
1.9 Maintenance, Repair, Fault Elimination
•The mandatory adjustment, maintenance and inspection work should be performed at
the specified intervals.
•Operating personnel must be informed before starting maintenance and repair work.
•Remove the main plug from the main electrical supply and secure it against unintentional
operation (place a warning sign to prevent operation).
•Check all released screw- and fitting connections for firm seating.
•Check safety devices for proper functioning after completing maintenance work.
1.10 Warranty and Liability
In principle, warranty and liability is based on our already signed written agreement. We do not
accept any warranty or any liability for damages caused to either persons or machinery which
can be attributed to one or several of the following causes:
•Inappropriate use of the system.
•Inappropriate repairs on the system, done by non-instructed personnel.
•Inappropriate transport, storage, assembly, commissioning, operation and maintenance
of the system.
•Operating of the system in spite of broken safety equipment or insufficiently mounted or
not functional safety and protective equipment.
•No attention to recommendations stated in the operating instructions concerning safety,
transport, storage, assembly, commissioning, maintenance and setup of the system.
•Constructive change of the system without permission.
•Change of the pressure ratio of the hydraulic pressure block without permission.
•Lack of control of the system parts, which may be subject to wear.
•Inappropriate repairs and use of spare parts from other suppliers.
•Catastrophic impacts, e.g. by external matters or force majeure risks.

Overview of the System2.
2.1 Use
The system is to be used exclusively to clamp and unclamp tools of the powRgrip® Tool Holding
System of the following trademark:
powRgrip® of REGO-FIX AG
WARNING
The system works with a pressure of max. 155 bar. Use this system only for
powRgrip® Tool Holding System which has been released by one of the
following companies:
•ABNOX Ltd. - Switzerland
•REGO-FIX AG - Switzerland
For any other application of
this system there is a danger of serious personal
injury as well as mechanical damage.
2.2 Functioning of powRgrip® Tool Holding System
The powRgrip® collet has a conical shank with a contact shoulder and a concentric bore for the
tool shank.
To be clamped, the collet and cutting tool are mounted and pressed in the powRgrip®tool
holder and pulled out for unclamping.
The press fit, which occurs through the taper, produces a radial force, which is transmitted
through the split collet to the tool shank. The tool is then gripped safely and concentrically.
Tool unclamped
Tool clamped
NOTE
Clamping a tool:
Clamping without a tool will result in damage of the collet!
NOTE
Take note of clamping length:
For min./max. clamping length of tool shank please refer to
technical data sheet.
