Measures to reduce the downtime of your machines are significantly more worth while than chasing seconds in the actual machining process. What matters is to keep the machines running. And that’s when you need an interface that gives fast setting-up.
The MacroMagnum system is just that kind of interface. Setting-up in parallel away from the machine while it is working and then setting up in a matter of seconds in the stationary machine. Important for long runs, but crucial for the profitability of short runs or one-piece production.
MacroMagnum, which is equipped with double references, is a larger variant of the patent-protected Macro system. The internal references are intended for Macro pallets and the external ones for MacroMagnum pallets. The powerful clamping force and the position of the external references far away from the chuck centre provide a stability and accuracy that are ideal for applications with powerful machining forces.
Vibration during machining has a crucial effect on production capacity. VDP allows machining with higher cutting data and better utilisation of the machine capacity.
The MacroMagnum range includes a number of vibration-damped chucks. VDP brings a considerable increase in productivity within reach.
Usually the workpiece is mounted directly on the pallet, which then carries the workpiece throughout the entire machining process – from machine to machine if necessary.
The reference elements are primarily intended to be mounted on the fixtures or vices in which the workpiece will be clamped. The reference elements are significantly thinner in order to limit the total construction height.
A number of the MacroMagnum products have been adapted for System 3R’s patented expanding mandrels in the 3Refix positioning system.
3Refix Ø10 in pallets for quick and precise repositioning of the workpiece for further processing, for example after heat treatment.
3Refix Ø20 in chucks for quick and precise positioning on the machine table.
