The Eclipser 2000-1121, also identified as M46 / Model 46, is a hand-held pneumatic clinch clip tool designed primarily for bedding production and 5mm flat border wire fastening. The tool closes compatible collated metal clips around wire components to form a mechanical clinched connection.
The 2000-1121 is specified for Encore 91A23S and 96A23S clip strips, corresponding to Hartco CLP-14 and CLP-9 clip references. The tool uses a curved magazine with a constant-force spring feeding system and operates with an 80–90 PSI compressed-air supply.
Its quick-release front plate allows driver blade replacement without removing the front assembly with tools, while the composite housing and magazine help keep the complete pneumatic tool weight at approximately 2.0kg.

The Eclipser 2000-1121 uses collated clinch clips supplied in strips. During operation, the tool positions a clip around the wire components and the pneumatic mechanism closes the clip into its final shape.
The standard clipping head is intended for open-access fastening work. For the 1121 configuration, the primary application is bedding assembly using 5mm flat border wire.
The Eclipser 2000 platform weighs approximately 4.4 lbs / 2.0kg. The composite housing and magazine contribute to a hand-held design intended for repetitive industrial clinching work.
The recommended compressed-air supply for the Eclipser 2000-1121 is 80–90 PSI, equivalent to approximately 5.5–6.2 bar. The pneumatic supply should be clean and set according to the tool operating requirements.
The quick-release front plate is designed to provide access to the driver blade without requiring tools to remove the front plate. Disconnect the compressed-air supply before inspection or service work.
The curved magazine feeds strip-collated clips toward the clipping head using a constant-force spring. The clip strip must match the 2000-1121 clipping head and magazine configuration.
The Eclipser 2000 series uses a compact contoured handle intended to provide a controlled grip during repetitive production work.
A hanger is available as an optional accessory for the Eclipser 2000 platform. The hanger arrangement can be configured for the operator's work position.
The 2000-1121 clipping head is specifically associated with Encore 91A23S and 96A23S strip-collated clips. These cross-reference to Hartco CLP-14 and CLP-9 respectively.
| Encore Clip | Hartco Reference | Clip Dimensions | Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| 91A23S | CLP-14 | Approx. 14.2 × 11 × 7.9mm | Bedding / 5mm border wire |
| 96A23S | CLP-9 | Approx. 15 × 11 × 7.9mm | Bedding / 5mm border wire |
Use the clip specified for the tool and wire assembly. Similar-looking clinch clips from another series should not be loaded into the 2000-1121 solely because their overall dimensions appear close.
The primary documented application for the 2000-1121 / M46 configuration is bedding production involving approximately 5mm flat border wire.
Mattress and bedding border-frame assembly
5mm flat border wire fastening
Wire-to-wire clinching in compatible bedding assemblies
Production replacement for applications already using HR-46 / Model 46 tooling
Industrial bedding operations using 91A23S / 96A23S clip formats
For other wire sizes, furniture applications, cages, fencing or other industrial clinching work, select the Eclipser model and clipping head specified for the required clip and wire combination.
The Eclipser 2000 series includes multiple clipping-head configurations. Model numbers should not be treated as interchangeable because each version is matched to specific clip sizes and wire applications.
| Tool | Primary Application | Encore Clip | Hartco Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000-1121 / M46 | Bedding / 5mm Flat Border Wire | 91A23S / 96A23S | CLP-14 / CLP-9 |
| 2000-1024 | Bedding / 10mm Flat Border Frames | 110A18S | Different clip configuration |
If your production line uses 10mm flat border wire, confirm the required 2000-series model before ordering. The 2000-1121 is specifically associated with the 5mm border-wire configuration.
The Eclipser 2000-1121 is identified by Encore as comparable to the Hartco Model 46 / HR-46 system. It uses the same documented clip references: 91A23S / CLP-14 and 96A23S / CLP-9.

Use an air supply regulated to the specified operating range of 80–90 PSI / 5.5–6.2 bar. Excessive or insufficient pressure can affect tool operation and clip closure.
Before starting production, verify that the correct clip strip is loaded, the clip feeds freely through the curved magazine and the clinched result is suitable for the wire assembly.
Disconnect the air supply before clearing a jam, replacing a driver blade, inspecting the clipping head or performing maintenance.
Use the clip reference appropriate for the wire assembly and 2000-1121 clipping head. The 91A23S and 96A23S clips are both cold-rolled steel strip-format clinch clips intended for bedding applications.
When replacing Hartco clips, use the cross-reference number together with the Encore clip code. CLP-14 corresponds to 91A23S, while CLP-9 corresponds to 96A23S.
For accurate product matching, provide the required quantity, current tool model, clip reference, border-wire dimensions, air supply and intended bedding application.
If replacing an existing Model 46 or Hartco tool, provide the original tool identification and the currently used CLP-14 or CLP-9 clip so the required configuration can be checked.
