CASSETTE CLAMPING MECHANISM

摘要

A mechanism having a pair of pivoting cassette clamping bars. The clamping bars are connected to a pneumatic cylinder or an electromechanical actuator through a series of links and an actuator wheel so that extension and retraction of the pneumatic cylinder or the electromechanical actuator causes the clamping bars to rotate and counter- rotate. The use of a pneumatic cylinder provides smooth, well-controlled movement of the clampi ng bars.
