3D-motion (PDF-file)
System 3R has started collaboration with other players in the field of automation, meaning that we can now offer automation solutions with industrial robots, both stationary and rail-borne.
These automation solutions may be the answer when changing parts that are not palletised, and when the capacity of WorkMaster is not sufficient in terms of …
… transfer weight
… stroke length
… number of moving axes.
Technical specification
Note: These cells are controlled by System 3R’s WorkShopManager software.
• Robot - 6-axis Fanuc
• Transfer weight – 70, 165, 350 or 600 kg
• Linear motion – 4 to 20 metres
• Magazine types – rack or rotary
• Loading station – loading can be done while the robot is working
• ID system*
* Rack magazine – identification takes place automatically in the loading station. Rotary magazine – identification takes place by fast scanning of all magazine levels at the same time.
Configuration example
Production cell with several machining technologies. Milling, die-sinking EDM wire EDM and measurement. Gripper and pallet stations integrated into the rail sledge.
• Robot – Fanuc 710iC70
• Milling machine for electrode manufacture
• Milling machine for machining parts
• Station for air-blast cleaning of graphite electrodes and washing of workpieces
• Die-sinking EDM machine
• Wire EDM machine
• Measuring machine for determining offset values, and for inspection measurement of machined electrodes and workpieces.
Greater autonomy
New possibilities are opened up, thanks to a greater number of moving axes.
• Loading and unloading of pallets in horizontal and vertical chucks without change of gripper jaw
• Tipping-out of liquid in a mould tool
• Gripper jaw station in the rail sledge. The robot always has all gripper jaws with it
• Magazine stations on the rail sledge. These are used as an intermediate station for changing grip on a pallet, or when a finished pallet is to be changed in a machine.
WorkShopManager
All processes in the cell are controlled by System 3R’s WorkShopManager software.
• Every object has its sequence of operations with the respective machining program.
• Every object is placed on a pallet with its own ID code stored in the database.
• On identification, WorkShopManager determines the status and magazine position of the object and decides to which machine the pallet must be loaded, as well as which machining program is to be transferred to the machine and started.

Modular Magazines give flexibility
The magazines are available in two basic designs – rack or rotary. In both cases they are matched to System 3R’s pallet system. Each magazine unit consists of a number of shelves. The number is determined by the height of the workpieces in question. Because of the modular design, you can start with fewer pallet positions. When the need arises, you can add one or more magazine units to increase the production capacity in step with the growth of your business.
