eTRUE

Intelligent Manufacturing

The solution delivered by eTRUE begins with CAD/CAM preparation, where the electrode study is efficiently performed and optimized by automatic computation of ideal undersize.

eTRUE manages the 3D CAD models throughout the global preparation to reflect reality during the manufacturing process. This approach incorporates the following elements:

  • 3D CAD models correspond to the job description during the preparation phase
  • Electrode inspection on active portion (contact areas)
  • Comparison between CAD model and actual part after inspection
  • Result of inspection is transformed and adapted for Die-Sinking EDM
  • Die-Sinking process based on real electrode data and rest of material

System 3R WorkShopManager

Automation for increased competitiveness

To stay competitive, manufacturers must be able to keep up. Palletisation is a major element in success; automation is essential for competitiveness. With System 3R as your partner, taking the step to automating and streamlining production is far easier than is often imagined.

The steps are simple. You input the data (workpiece, fixture, NC programs, tooling, materials, etc.). Then, based on current orders, WSM 5 (WorkShopManager 5) shares it with your machine tools and stores all the information in one place.

Boosting Production Efficiency

  • WSM 5 optimises and schedules whatever your production environment involves (stand-alone machines, inspections, quality assurance, etc.).
  • Control of your manufacturing processes is seamless and real-time. Visibility of your stand-alone and automated operations is guaranteed.
  • Automated and non-automated work cells are seamlessly integrated into a smooth production flow.
