| | Jul 14, 2008 — ERGONOMIC TIGHTENING WING GRIP FROM FIXTUREWORKS
Fixtureworks (Fraser, MI), one of North America’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of workholding technologies and machine tool components, builds upon its extensive product selection by offering a line-up of 120 styles of NOVO-GRIP Wing Grips from Kipp —one of Germany’s premier manufacturers of manual operating elements. The wing grips are available in either a standard size range or, for applications with limited access, a compact mini-wing grip form. The grips feature a modern design with advanced engineered construction and durable materials to provide optimum clamping and tightening performance, ergonomics and long service operation.
As one part of the overall lineup of Kipp NOVO-GRIP products, the wing grips incorporate the same innovative design that is replicated in Kipp’s knurled knobs, mushroom knobs, ball and five-lobe grips, handwheels and positioning wheels along with crank handles and pull handles. The repetitive design establishes a continuous overall appearance, for virtually any project no matter the application requirement.
Both size groupings of NOVO-GRIP Wing Grips (standard and mini) are also offered in two configurations, with tapped, female threaded bushings or male threaded stud with options for inch or metric threads. The 66 variety of standard size grips include bushings or studs made from a choice of stainless steel or steel, while the female mini-grips have options for brass or stainless bushings. Mini-grips with male threads are offered with either stainless or steel studs. Wing grip handles are “comfort molded” using dark grey thermoplastic, and each size and style is available with cap inserts of matching dark grey, light grey, red, and bright yellow to allow for easy identification.
Standard wing grips with both male and female threads are sized from 10-32 to 3/8-16; metric threads are M5 thru M10. The range of 54 mini-size wing grips have threads from 8-32 to 1/4-20 and M4 to M5 for female threads, and 8-32 thru 5/16-18 and M4 thru M8 for versions with male threads.
Besides NOVO-GRIP Wing Grips and the full NOVO-GRIP lineup, Fixtureworks also offers Kipp spring plungers, rest and riser pads, tension levers and torque handles, knurled nuts, ball knobs, and handwheels. Among Fixtureworks other 20,000-plus items are Fairlane Products’ grippers, rest pads, Swivots swivel/pivoting positioning components, Quick Release ball-lock pins, rollers and bumpers; Imao clamps, part supports, risers, T-nuts, sliding mounts, springs, grid plates and blocks.
