Our state-of-the-art components for telescopic covers.


Extremely good gliding characteristics and very high robustness.
Wiper VA 12 G / VA 17 G

The wiper systems VA 12 and VA 17 have proven themselves in practice as particularly effective systems. They effectively prevent the penetration of coolants and chips into the inside of the machine. The use of new materials has significantly improved gliding characteristics and robustness, especially for dry running.


New wiper lip material – reduced gliding resistance, longer service life.

The new material of the wiper lips has improved gliding characteristics. The new wipers have the designation “G” for gliding. They can now also be used where little lubricant is generated, e.g. on machine tools.

New metal turn-lock fasteners – stable and heat-resistant..


  • Easy release of the wipers from the cover plates.

The wiper systems VA 12 G and VA 17 G are fastened with turn-lock fasteners on the cover plates. This means that the wipers can be replaced without dismantling the telescopic cover. The turn-lock fasteners can be unlocked by turning through 90°, and the wiper can be released. As an option to the previously available turn-lock fasteners of plastic, they are now available made of metal. These provide even more stable, extremely positive fastening of the wiper. Hot chips can burn into turn-lock fasteners made of metal. Damage to the slot on the turn-lock fastener is thus excluded.
