ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for attaching a clamp to a hose assembly, preferably automatic or semi-automatic, incorporates precisely located mounting devices for receiving clamp tooling, cooperating hose guiding and positioning tooling which can support a unique hose assembly and locate a predetermined location on such hose assembly properly aligned with a clamp in the clamp tooling. An operator only needs to load a clamp and a hose assembly into tooling, then initiate an automatic cycle which scrubs a small area on the hose, places a predetermined quantity (e.g. drop) of adhesive on that area, then brings the clamp into position and presses the clamp, adhesive, and hose together holding that position for a period sufficient to allow the adhesive to set. The operator then removes the finished part (the hose with attached clamp) and loads another clamp and hose into the tooling. The cycle optionally may terminate at the point where the adhesive is to be applied, that function then is initiated by an operator, and the cycle completed under automatic control. Interchangeable tooling provides quick setup in changing from one job to another, involving different sizes and/or types of clamps, and different sizes and shape of hose assemblies which require attachment of a clamp thereto.
