KippDreh
KippDreh is a term used in German engineering discourse to describe a mechanism or device that combines tilting (kippen) and rotating (drehen) motions. The expression is not a single standardized concept, but a descriptive label applied to assemblies where a component must be tilted and rotated relative to a base or another link. Etymologically, it stems from the verbs kippen and drehen.
In practice, a KippDreh mechanism provides two degrees of freedom, typically a tilt about one axis and
Applications of KippDreh concepts appear in areas such as camera mounts and stabilization devices, robotic manipulators,
