Abstract
The paper presents a special clamp with high precision used in fixing plastic parts on the lower mold of laminating tools or in prefixing devices. In most of 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 a good idea because of high temperatures and additional systems needs. In solving this aspect was 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 a software platform like COMSOL Multiphysics in terms of temperature and pressure. In this paper are also presented the main steps design, the results of clash assembly analysis, the results of temperature analysis and the results of pressure analysis.
