System 3R – Tooling, automation and referencing systems for continuous, error-free production

System 3R is a benchmark in the field of tooling, referencing systems and automation for machine tools. Its philosophy is simple: eliminate idle time, minimize positioning errors and turn any machine into a stable, repeatable system that is always ready to produce—day and night.
ConGri supports companies in introducing System 3R into production, integrating references, chucks, pallets, robots and software into existing processes. This enables every asset to be fully exploited and productivity to increase without having to overhaul the entire workflow.

System 3R – Tooling and referencing systems to reduce set-up and increase spindle time

At the heart of System 3R technology is the universal referencing system, designed to drastically reduce setup times. Every minute saved during setup becomes a minute of additional spindle time—more parts produced, more value generated. The concept is clear: work smarter, not harder.
The part is prepared, referenced, clamped in seconds, and the machine can focus solely on machining without interruption.

The quality of the chucks, the repeatability of clamping, the rigidity of the pallets and the precision of the interfaces allow repositioning of fixtures and parts without losing even a tenth of a millimeter compared to the previous operation.
The system maintains accuracy even when moving from one machine to another—EDM, milling, laser or additive—ensuring a continuous workflow. This referencing stability not only eliminates errors and scrap but also enables long-cycle programming with the certainty that every part will always be in the correct position.

System 3R – The only neutral, open system compatible with every machine type and brand

The true strength of System 3R lies in its completely open and neutral architecture. Unlike many proprietary systems, System 3R is designed to work with any machine tool—regardless of brand, age or technology.
 Perfect for workshops with mixed machine fleets: EDM, machining centers, lathes, laser, additive manufacturing. All machines can communicate without complications or special adaptations.

The System 3R software allows machines to share data, orders, priorities and production flows. The result? Smooth production with minimal bottlenecks. The department can be automated gradually, without changing technologies or replacing machines that are still fully functional.
This concept of complete interoperability is one of the main reasons why System 3R is today the international standard for workshops aiming to increase productivity while keeping costs under control.

System 3R automation – 24/7 production, reduced lead times and accelerated ROI

With System 3R automation, production never stops. Pallets, electrodes, finished parts and fixtures are managed automatically, enabling machines to run overnight without supervision. Idle time is eliminated and production load stays stable.
 Whether it’s a robot for EDM, a system for machining centers or a gantry solution for full automation cells, System 3R automation ensures precise movements, repeatable processes and maximum safety.

Lead times are drastically reduced: each cycle is completed on schedule, fixtures are recognized immediately and priorities can be changed on the fly without stopping the machines. This increases throughput, saturates existing equipment and accelerates return on investment far faster than expected.

System 3R software – Integrated process management and full control of the production flow

System 3R brings real order to the workshop. It coordinates machines, robots, tools and job orders on a single platform. The interface is intuitive and fast: data can be entered instantly, priorities adjusted immediately and the process is always under real-time control.
The entire production chain can be visualized at a glance, making it easy to prevent bottlenecks, distribute resources and accelerate deliveries.

The software is the true “brain” of automated production. It monitors machine availability, workload distribution and assigns tasks intelligently. This keeps operations flexible: small batches, rapid changeovers or customized jobs can all be handled without having to start from scratch.

System 3R Customer Services – Maximum availability, precision and productivity

System 3R Customer Services focuses on availability, precision and continuous productivity of your equipment. Technicians know chucks, software, robots and referencing systems in depth—they intervene quickly, minimize downtime and guarantee consistent uptime.

Services include scheduled maintenance, parameter optimization, technical upgrades, retrofits and training. In essence, you gain a partner focused on results, helping keep the system efficient throughout its entire lifecycle.
