At the heart of the process optimization is a column made of precision steel tubing, around the axis of which plate-like CNC carrier plates can be rotated, which are held at the desired height by a grid system.

Jakob has added a star or T-handle to the operating hexagon to enable simple operation by hand. This means that a high clamping force can also be generated without tools, as the force amplification is generated via the integrated planetary gear.
