Today, the reality confronting manufacturing industry is different from the reality that confronted it only a few years ago. Customers are demanding ever shorter deliveries. Production runs are getting shorter. Products need to be more accurate. Prices are steadily falling. Competition is becoming more and more global.
All these demands must be met with increased flexibility, increased quality and increased productivity. In the long term there is only one viable solution - automation!
Automation means that the skilled workers in the workshop can concentrate on stimulating work which makes demands on their professional skill and can forget about monotonous routine tasks. Automation keeps production going every day of the week and every hour of the day.
Enhanced quality assurance
You can opt for simple auto-changing of pallets in the same machine. Or auto-changing of workpieces or tools between, for instance, a wire EDM machine and a grinding machine. You can choose to automate only a part of the production line. Or all of it. Whichever approach you choose, it will be a far-sighted investment.
Whatever the degree of automation, 3R automation systems are always user-friendly. Operator errors become rarer. Leading to less stress and better quality assurance.

The maximum limits (Nm) are given in the instructions for use for each chuck.
**Note: When used with Combi gripper max 10 kg.
