System 3R offer a range of innovative workholding solutions

• The Delphin BIG reference system, that can handle work pieces up to 10 tonnes. It is a machine independent modular clamping system, which has been utilised by West Pharmaceutical Services, a manufacturer of components and systems for injectable drug delivery. Using the system achieved a 75-80 per cent reduction in set-up times and an estimated 15-20 per cent increase in productivity, compared to their existing machines. • The Twist Lock direct clamping chuck for small work pieces, which is particularly suited for watchmaking, microengineering and medical applications. • System 3R Automation which improves productivity from existing machines, with lights-out production and minimal downtime, using robots. • The WEDM B-axis indexer, a CNC-controlled unit, that adds greater flexibility to the operation of wire and sink erosion EDM machines. • The Macro reference system which has been used by Numatic International, manufacturers of the Henry vacuum cleaner, to standardise chucks and electrode holders, giving them a 90 per cent saving in set-up time. System 3R will be exhibiting at MACH 2010.
