FAST RETOOLING WITH FIXED REFERENCES on the machine table is essential for high productivity and good competitiveness. Delphin is a machine-independent reference system which, in addition to increased productivity, gives a highly flexible production apparatus. The system satisfies in every way the requirements for quick changing and accurate positioning and fixing of the workpiece, so it is ideal for mixed production.
Delphin is an "open" reference system which is not limited by standard pallet sizes. In principle, Delphin is made up of only two parts - a chuck and a drawbar. The drawbar can be fitted directly to the workpiece or to the fixture, giving a very low construction height.
The system is modular. The user decides the number of chucks to be mounted on each machine table, angle shelf or cube. The configuration is simply adapted to the specific needs of each user. The possibilities are unlimited.
With Delphin, the machines are interconnected with a positioning accuracy better than 5 μm. Several consecutive machining operations can be done in different machines with only one alignment procedure, and this is done away from the machines.
The mechanical chucks, which are operated hydraulically or pneumatically, generate a locking force of 60 000 N per chuck, and have automatic cleaning of the reference surfaces. The hydraulic version also has an integral lifting and soft landing function, which ensures quick, precise changing even of very heavy workpieces.
in brief
PRECISION, RELIABILITY AND SIMPLE OPERATION are justified requirements for a modern reference system. Requirements which are all met by the GPS 70/120.
The design, with cast aluminium pallets and chucks, as well as protected references, gives the user high precision at a reasonable cost. Hardened locking rings make projecting drawbars unnecessary. The compact design is well suited to applications in the high-quality clock industry, for example.
INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY need not mean heavy investments in new machines.
3Refix is remarkably simple way to lay a solid foundation from which to view the future with confidence – tool up without indication and cut your production costs!
3Refix technology is based on a modular hole pattern with 100x100 mm pitch and 20 mm diameter reference holes. The reference tables have clearly-marked reference holes – A1, A2, B1, B2 etc – and every accessory has two 20 mm diameter holes, which pick up the references from the table. The R0-hole gives the X/Y-position and the R1-hole gives the angle relative to the axes of the machine. This makes it possible to set up the workpiece without the need for alignment and gauging afterwards. So 3Refix accessories provide an unmistakable and fixed position with known references.
The full effect of 3Refix technology is attained by consistent application with general systemization and standardization of all machine tables and accessories. System 3R can supply reference tables for practically all types and sizes of machines – reference tables that give a distinct interface between machine table and auxiliary tool.
With the aid of 3Refix you can very quickly change the set-up of the machine from one machining operation to another in a few simple operations – One Minute Set!
in brief
PALLETISE PUNCH AND DIE!
There’s no question that short deliveries have become a powerful competitive tool in the press industry. And here, System 3R’s ideas for quick, precise resetting with reference systems have been highly successful. High-quality reference systems with manual and automatic chucks, as well as a wide range of pallets and accessories.
System 3R’s press products offer:
• Extremely high accuracy
• Simple operation
The high-grade tolerances of the products also give:
• Increased stability with respect to lateral forces
• Minimised grinding allowance for subsequent machining operations
• Minimised risk of "edge damage"
• Fewer rejects
The powder press industry was quick to benefit from System 3R’s new ideas for rapid, precise retooling. Not least because the production of indexable inserts is a sector where flexibility and quick deliveries often make the difference between winning and losing an order. And here, System 3R’s press products have taken up a leading position within a decade.
