Staking Fixture
This tool was also built to assemble automotive glove compartment subassemblies. The design was based on adapting an existing air press to perform the desired crimping function. Air logic controls were used to coordinate the air press with the positioning cylinder (shown overhanging the right side). A cycle consists of positioning the component and then crimping the latch component on a steel shaft.
	Stamping Fixture
	This pneumatically actuated fixture uses a cam and follower mechanism to apply a rubber stamp on a work surface and re-ink the stamp at the end of the cycle.
