Reference systems for electrode manufacturing & EDMing

Care for the environment and protection of natural resources are key elements in System 3R’s operations • We take all necessary precautions to prevent contamination of soil, air and water. • In our production processes, we continually improve the efciency of our energy use. • The products and methodologies we offer the market improve the efciency of our customers’ use of existing resources. Manufactured to meet System 3R’s quality requirements, but partly or completely made in a production plant that is not covered by System 3R’s ISO9000 certicate Indicates that the product will normally be...

? Experience always shows that measures to reduce the idle times of your machines are signicantly more worthwhile than chasing seconds in the actual machining process. The solution is a stable and exact reference system. This lets you preset away from the machine and then set up the machine with minimum idle time. Quickly and precisely! ! Fitting the machines with the same reference system means that electrodes and workpieces can be moved between the machines without subsequent alignment and checking – One Minute Set-up.

Conventional setting-up Machining time Idle time One manned shift – eight hours Pallet system One manned shift – eight hours Higher productivity, calculation example: Conventional setting-up Pallet system Working time per day Setting-up time per day (hours) Spindle time per day Working days per week Spindle time per week Faster payback, calculation example: Conventional setting-up 50 Capital cost of machine (€) Capital cost pallet system (€) Total capital outlay (€) Paybacktime (weeks) A reference system minimises setup times Every minute that can be converted from internal to external...

From small to large The engineering industry is complex. Every company is unique in terms of type of production, machinery, To satisfy all these different requirements, System 3R has developed reference systems of exceptional For every size of pallet there is a "recommended" maximum workpiece size. However, this should only be regarded as a guide, since the size of the workpiece relative to the pallet depends above all on the material and the type of machining. Maximum size of workpiece or electrode, square or round / mm Maximum weight of workpiece or electrode, spindle chuck or table chuck...

The references of the pallet are created directly in the pallet and on a single plane. There are no loose parts to be installed and adjusted by the user. The Z-references of the chuck have generously-sized surfaces to ensure the highest stability. The Z-references are automatically air-blast cleaned, through nozzles in the Z-references of the chuck. The X and Y references of the chuck are made of cemented carbide. Turbo locking. Extra locking force is provided by airblast cleaning air which is automatically diverted to the locking piston when the Z-references seal against each other....

VDP (Vibration-Damped Palletisation) … reduces cutting forces by up to 25%. Lower cutting forces gives lower power consumption and less tool wear. … lengthens tool life tool wear by up to 30%, giving lower tool costs. … lengthens the life of the machine spindle. Less vibration in the machine spindle extends the life of the spindle by at least 30%. … gives shorter lead times. VDP allows machining with higher cutting data – better utilisation of the existing machine capacity. A 30 % capacity increase is within your reach. With conventional chucks, vibrations of the workpiece caused by the...

Increase your capacity with > +30% Less tool wear extends the life of the tools = increased revenue. *Depth of cut is limited by the cutting tool The diagram shows the effect on the oscillation amplitude when machining with the workpiece clamped conventionally and in a damped chuck.

MacroJunior & MacroCombi … gives extreme exibility … one chuck, two systems … reduces setting-up times. … ensures precision and quality … is suitable for automatic changing with System 3R’s automation program. MacroCombi Protability in tool manufacturing is determined largely by the extent to which machine downtime can be minimised. A reference system which allows presetting away from the machine – followed by super-rapid tooling-up in the machine when the time comes – is a highly efcient way of working. MacroCombi is such a reference system. The MacroCombi system offers extreme exibility...
