Your partner in the field of precision screw drives
Hipp – Your partner in the field of Precision screw drives
Developing and producing linear drive systems for the highest demands – that is our passion. With ballscrews and leadscrews in miniature design, we give linear motions the highest precision. Decades of experience, well-founded know-how in development and production as well as innovative approaches to solutions characterise us as a company and make us a globally sought-after partner in the field of drive technology. We are one of the world's leading manufacturers of miniature ballscrews and yet always remain connected to our roots: as a family-owned company based in southern Germany, we focus on quality made in Germany.
Moving Precision
In order to always offer our customers the best solution, we invest in research & development: from new manufacturing processes to the further training of our employees, we actively drive progress. In this way, we are able to offer process-reliable components for your systems in the highest quality as well as at attractive conditions. State-of-the-art testing procedures ensure that our products meet the highest standards.
Our drive solutions for your industry
Our drive solutions for your industry
From production robots to surgical microscopes: ballscrews from Hipp guarantee precise and fast linear motions. With well-founded know-how in development and production and the enthusiasm for new things, we create special solutions for many industries. State-of-the-art machines and comprehensive test procedures ensure the highest precision. Standardised procedures also enable quickly available results with low development and cost expenditure – of course in first-class Hipp-quality.
Medical technology
Nowhere is precision more valuable than in medical technology. When people's health or even their lives depend on exact results, inaccuracies are out of place. For this reason, preloaded ballscrews from Hipp are used to control precision positioning tables for example in microscopy and imaging processes.
Measurement technology
The question of whether work has been done precisely can only be answered with sophisticated measuring technology. In order to be able to evaluate tolerances in the 1000th of a millimetre range, the measuring technology has to work a little more precisely than that of production. Precision ballscrews from Hipp control the measuring instruments – reliable and very precisely.
Mechanical engineering
Mechanical engineering is characterised by two central challenges: automation at ever higher speeds and ever lower tolerances. Ballscrews from Hipp provide reliable basic work in both disciplines. Thanks to the highest precision, they are the key element for precisely positioning workpieces and tools in the production process.
Automation & robotics
More and more, work is being taken over by automated systems and robots, controlled by artificial intelligence. The work processes of these systems are carried out by mechanical components. They have to implement the commands of the command centre with the highest precision and speed. Hipp screw drives in the highest precision make it possible.
Solar industry
Photovoltaic and solar modules on roofs and in open space systems make an important contribution to meeting the demand for energy. The automated production of modules with thin-film technology requires the most precise movements of the systems. Hipp's precision-ground ballscrews offer the highest precision and enable fast work under clean room conditions.
Semiconductor and electronics industry
Electronic and semiconductor technology-based devices surround us at every turn in our everyday lives. With highly specialised equipment and systems, the most important parts of these devices are manufactured under clean room conditions. Fast and most precise movements of the machining processes are guaranteed by the world-renowned ground miniature ballscrews from Hipp.
Individual solutions from batch size 1
Individual solutions from batch size 1 · Manufacturing according to drawing & new product development
We specialise in threads for the highest requirements in all variations and manufacture precision screw drives, miniature ballscrews as well as components according to customer-specific requirements – from batch size 1 to large-scale production. Whether you need a modified standard product or an individual production entirely according to your wishes, together we will find the solution that will take you further. We take over the development for you or manufacture according to your drawings.
