<p>PURPOSE: To tightly and automatically install an axle boot to an axle itself by feeding each blank to a deformation station to deform it into a clamp of a larger diameter, and carrying it to be disposed and tightened on the axle boot. CONSTITUTION: Each blank 10 fed to a deformation station 40 is deformed by a clamp 43, roller members 41, 24, and a lock member 45 into a closed clasp member 11 of a little larger inner outline than an axle boot 70 as a subject body to be tightened, a holding fin of a carrying means 51 is held by 56a-56d, and it is engaged by insertion to the axle boot 70 as the subject body 70 to be tightened by its rotation and elongation of an air cylinder 59. At a tightening station 60, the clamp member 11 is tightened to the body 70, and the axle boot 70 is assembled onto an axle structure 71. A clamp structure can thus be completely automatically installed without requiring man power.</p> |
