System 3R offers a one minute set-up solution for EDM tooling applications. It consists of a stable and exact reference system that lets operators preset away from the machine and then set up the machine with minimum idle time. Fitting the machines with the same reference system means that electrodes and workpieces can be moved between the machines without subsequent alignment and checking.

System 3R offers a range of products for various applications, including:

• MacroJunior and MacroCombi: Offer flexibility in electrode production and in die-sinking EDM. They accept small and large electrodes in the same chuck without adapters.
• MacroStd and MacroHP: The Macro reference system is designed to reduce set-up times, minimize throughput times and eliminate rejects due to its accuracy. Macro products are classified in terms of accuracy, material and life (Standard, High Performance and Nano). Macro Std and HP offer repetition accuracy within .002 mm and are suitable for automatic changing with System 3R's automation program.
• MacroNano: This clamping system links the production chain through a precision coupling for workpiece and tool holding. It offers repetition accuracy within .001 mm
• MacroMagnum: This larger variant of the Macro system offers high clamping force and accuracy in applications with high machining forces. The double references of the chucks mean that in addition to the MacroMagnum pallets, the extensive range of Macro pallets can also be fixed to MacroMagnum.
• Matrix: The Matrix system is an interface that allows set-ups away from the machine so machine set-up is quick and easy. The generous diameter of the drawbar means short distances between the references and the applied locking force, providing greater stability and accuracy.
• GPS 240: The machining zero point is defined by the center of the chuck in the GPS 240 system. The chuck can be mounted on the machine table of any machine tool. The standardized hole pattern of the pallet allows the fixation of accessories such as vises, three-jaw chucks and magnetic tables from below. This provides collision-free mounting, even with 5-sided machining.

Additional solutions, including accessories, are also available.
