HEINRICH KIPP WERK offers toggle clamps in a variety of designs, including innovative in-house developments under the names KIPPlock and KIPPlock+. New to the range are conductive ESD toggle clamps and smart status sensors, with which it is possible to monitor the actuated status.
- ESD toggle clamps prevent electric discharges. In order to guarantee the conductivity the standards require, the grip elements and the protective pads are made of electrically conductive polyamide or elastomer. This enables the current to be relayed and dissipated via the steel frame.
- Status sensors for toggle clamps enable the actuated status to be automatically read: the sensor detects whether the toggle clamp is open or closed so that the information can be electronically processed. This approach permits easy retrofitting of toggle clamps to create a smart production environment.
- The KIPPlock and KIPPlock+ toggle clamps series are renowned for the ergonomic design of the grip and particularly user-friendly handling. High-quality materials, innovative joint bushings and corrosion-resistant surfaces ensure that all products effortlessly withstand 300,000 clamping cycles. KIPPlock+ also impresses with an integrated safety interlock.
The wide range of toggle clamps from KIPP can be roughly divided into three different types: horizontal clamps, vertical clamps and push-pull clamp. These solutions are characterised by the one-handed operation, the clamping of the workpieces is carried out by the toggle lever principle. Versions with a horizontal or vertical foot permit the clamp to be easily installed in accordance with the respective mounting requirements. |
