The setup of the machine tool in the metal-removing production is as decisive as the pit stop in a formula 1 race. Along with velocity, the right strategy and the right clamping concept are required.

To resolve the conflict of objectives between flexibility and optimization of the machine running times, KIPP provides the ideal prerequisite to reduce non-productive times by offering the zero point workholding system.

The increasing product variety and complexity when producing small batch sizes have far-reaching effects on the metal-removing production and, not least, also the job planning, the organization and the material flow are concerned. The increasing part of non-productive times must be conceptionally taken into account. The rationalization efforts are focused more and more on the loading and unloading of the machine tool. Additionally, the clamping technology requires
more flexible workholding devices.

The KIPP zero point clamping system is the basis of the clamping device.

With the zero-point clamping system "Ball Lock", KIPP offers the decisive prerequisite for fast, economical and precise production of individual and serial parts. It is used as a reference system for machining devices, machine tools and other production systems.

The size of the exchangeable plate depends on the customer's application and machinery. The KIPP zero-point clamping system allows accurate positioning and fastening of clamping plates and base plates within seconds.

Using the KIPP zero point clamping system, the following targets can be reached.

· Reduction of machine downtimes
· Higher flexibility
· Reduction of interference edges
· Higher productivity
· Reduction of setup times
