As a special guest, Indianapolis-based IndyCar Series ECR racing team will exhibit at the event. REGO-FIX joined forces with ECR – helmed by owner/driver Ed Carpenter – last May as the premium toolholding solutions provider for the team’s machine shop. ECR uses REGO-FIX’s world-renowned ER collets and other related accessories, the powRgrip toolholding system and Multi Line products that boost the accuracy of traditional-style tooling for its precision parts machining.
Located adjacent to the company’s U.S. headquarters in Whitestown, Indiana, just 30 minutes north of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Indianapolis International Airport, the CME opened in October 2024 and lies at the heart of North America’s manufacturing corridor.
The state-of-the-art 12,000-square-foot manufacturing innovation and educational facility provides specialists in cutting tools, clamping systems, software, automation and metrology a prime opportunity to engage with customers, distribution partners and thought leaders who will be among the thousands of race fans who visit Central Indiana during the month of May.

- metrology
metrology
Science of measurement; the principles on which precision machining, quality control and inspection are based. See precision machining, measurement.
- milling machine ( mill)
milling machine ( mill)
Runs endmills and arbor-mounted milling cutters. Features include a head with a spindle that drives the cutters; a column, knee and table that provide motion in the three Cartesian axes; and a base that supports the components and houses the cutting-fluid pump and reservoir. The work is mounted on the table and fed into the rotating cutter or endmill to accomplish the milling steps; vertical milling machines also feed endmills into the work by means of a spindle-mounted quill. Models range from small manual machines to big bed-type and duplex mills. All take one of three basic forms: vertical, horizontal or convertible horizontal/vertical. Vertical machines may be knee-type (the table is mounted on a knee that can be elevated) or bed-type (the table is securely supported and only moves horizontally). In general, horizontal machines are bigger and more powerful, while vertical machines are lighter but more versatile and easier to set up and operate.
