The constantly increasing requirement profile on machines, devices and technically high-grade industrial goods requires rational solutions from many companies. Functional, operating and handling structures, and the assembly and manufacturing stages that result from them, have to be optimised increasingly quickly. We have developed the new KIPP control lever to do justice to these requirements. Conventional clamping processes are considerably improved through the use of the KIPP control lever. Using the KIPP control lever with pipe jointing systems, for example, guarantees perfect, safe handling, paired with considerably faster adjustment processes.
