ABSTRACT:
A clamp mechanism forces a track chain to seat properly and completely in a holding fixture prior to dis-assembly of the track chain. The clamp mechanism has a hold-down bar, for engaging the track chain, a linkage assembly connected to the hold-down bar, and a fluid powered cylinder for moving the hold-down bar into engagement with the track chain. Track chains being dis-assembled within a track press do not always seat properly in a holding fixture, which can cause damage to the track press tooling or the holding fixtures. The subject clamp mechanism seats the track chain fully into the holding fixture and maintains a force on the track chain during dis-assembly.
