Stair trestle

Clamping iron with a step bracket as a base

The stair trestle is a base for clamping irons , with which the height difference between the workpiece support and the clamping surface is compensated. The triangular bodies have incorporated a staircase shape into the inclined surface, which allows the support surface to be increased in stages and thus replaces a large number of differently sized documents. In order to ensure cross-provider use with the stair-shaped ends of the clamping iron, the brackets were recorded in various standards adapted to the task areas. Their area of ​​application can be found both in production technology for clamping workpieces on machine tables and in measurement technology on coordinate measuring machines for fixing the test object.
