Pneumatic Clamp Used for Fixing Plastic Parts in Laminating Tools

摘要

The paper presents a special clamp with high precision used in process of fixing plastic parts on the lower mold of laminating tools or in devices prefixing. In most cases in laminating tools is known that to fix a plastic part, in order to be covered with leather, on a heat lower laminating tool with suction cups is not possible because of high temperatures and additional systems needs. In solving this aspect it was conceived and designed a pneumatic clamp with a special nose which fixed the plastic part with high precision. To achieve good results, the design was thoroughly checked in the software system named COMSOL Multiphysics in terms of temperature and pressure. In this paper are also presented the working method and clash assembly analysis, the main steps design, the results of temperature and dynamic simulation analysis.
