Reference system for wire EDMing

Our world is constantly changing and so is the manufacturing industry. The catalogue has two main sections – an orange section for customers who traditionally use wire EDM products from System 3R, and a grey section which is mainly for users of wire EDM accessories which used to be made by Mecatool. In both sections you will find adapter elements that give you free access to the entire product range, regardless of which system you used before. Care for the environment and protection of natural resources are key elements in System 3R’s operations • We take all necessary precautions to prevent...

Three steps to success The route to rational production in wire EDM machines can be summarised in three steps – Mounting, Reference system and Automation. First of all, the workpiece needs to be positioned and secured in the working area of the machine, preferably on the zero line, and with the risk of collision with the machine’s wire guides reduced to a minimum. And so firmly that it can handle the high flushing pressures of modern machines. Reference system Once the problem of effective mounting of the workpiece in the machine has been solved, the next step is to minimise downtimes when retooling...

Basic equipment – WEDM WEDM positions the workpiece within the working area of the machine and on the machine’s zero line. Whether the workpiece is rectangular or round, small or large, thin or thick, tall or short, it is clamped with minimal risk of collision. There are infinitely many possible combinations in the product range, the only limitation being the user’s imagination. Without doubt, System 3R offers the most comprehensive product range on the market. What’s more, it also leads in terms of number of installations – world wide. • • • • • Exceptional flexibility Accurately ground-in references...
