0 Comments

 
Picture
RHS Flexible Tooling Self Centering ViseRHS Self Centering Vise for Flexible Tooling and irregular shapes is a centering vice composed of 2 pcs of flexible tooling fixtures. The pins on fixtures are flexible and able to simulate the figure of a complex workpiece easily when clamping it. The application of this centering vise is for CNC machining, measurement in the laboratory, and assembly. The air connection on the lateral side is a function for keeping fixtures from swarfs after machining.

RHS: Flexible Tooling Gripper for Robot

1/29/2026

0 Comments

 
Picture
RHS Robot finger Flexible toolRHS Flexible Tooling Gripper for Robot is compatible with the EROWA EasyChange system. It comes with a gripper link similar to the ER-036347, allowing it to couple seamlessly with the EROWA Gripper RCS. This gripper consists of two modules of a flexible tooling unit, where each pin on the unit cushions itself to support the workpiece. The pins of every module adjust to any shape, ensuring workpieces are held or clamped in position simply, quickly, and precisely. Ideal for clamping irregularly shaped workpieces, the gripper efficiently moves them from one position to another. Enhanced by Rapid Holding Systems tools, this versatile gripper meets diverse industrial needs.

Rapid Holding Systems: Faster EDM Setups, Lower Costs — The Complete System 3R-Compatible User Kit

9/26/2025

0 Comments

 
Picture
If you’ve been running WEDM for a while, you know how frustrating slow setups and alignment issues can be. 
 
Every extra minute spent adjusting tooling is a minute your machine isn’t cutting — and when you’re using OEM System 3R components, those delays can be costly in more ways than one. 
At Rapid Holding Systems, we designed the System 3R 3R-242.82HP Compatible User Kit to give you quick, precise, and repeatable positioning without the long lead times or high costs of OEM parts. 
Most of our customers face the same set of frustrations in their WEDM workflows: 
Slow setups, alignment issues that cause scrap and rework, and long waits (with high costs) for OEM System 3R components. 
Standard setups get the job done, but they’re rarely fast. Every extra adjustment is lost production time, and when you’re relying on precision tooling, even small delays can throw off delivery schedules. 
Shops running demanding EDM workflows need a faster, smarter alternative. 
Why Our Customers Love Rapid Holding Systems Solutions 
Our WEDM User Kits are built to solve the very challenges shops face every day. Instead of waiting weeks and paying OEM prices, our customers get: 
  • Full System 3R Compatibility – Seamless integration into existing setups, no hacks or workarounds needed. 
  • Faster Setups & Higher Productivity – Reduce downtime, cut scrap, and keep machines running. 
  • Proven Reliability – Precision components designed for demanding EDM environments. 
  • Complete Kits – Everything you need in one package, from ruler vices to levelling adapters, delivered ready to install. 
With Rapid Holding Systems, shops don’t just replace parts—they gain a partner that understands the urgency, precision, and cost pressures of modern manufacturing. 
The 3R-242.82HP Compatible User Kit is a drop-in replacement that integrates seamlessly with your existing System 3R interface. 
 
No guesswork. No hacks. Just plug in, align, and cut with confidence. 
Included in the kit: 
  • 3R-239.1 Compatible – Ruler Vice – Secure and precise clamping for square and rectangular workpieces. 
  • 3R-272HP Compatible – Levelling Adapter HP – Ensures perfect height alignment and repeatable setups. 
  • 3R-292.66HP Compatible – Magnum Holder HP – Heavy-duty holding power for larger or high-value components. 
50% lower cost vs. OEM System 3R components 
100% guaranteed compatibility with your existing 3R setup 
Fast, repeatable setups — improve productivity instantly 
Built for demanding EDM environments — reliable under continuous use 
Our customers report dramatic reductions in setup time, improved alignment accuracy, and the confidence of knowing that replacement parts are always available without OEM delays. 
The ruler vice’s movable jaws allow you to clamp variable-length workpieces with ease. The levelling adapter ensures every setup is perfectly aligned. And the magnum holder keeps even large parts secure during long EDM runs. 
Other User Kit Options from RHS

Introducing RHS CNC Pull ClampingThis system secures your part using pull studs directly in the workpiece, locking into modular clamp units. The result?
·  Setup in minutes instead of hours
·  Repeatability within ±0.005 mm for consistent precision
·  Full 5-side machining access with no clamps in the way
·  Automation-ready design for lights-out machining
