If not, an airtightness detection alarm will be triggered due to air leakage to ensure that the workpiece is installed correctly. Figure 5 , 6 As shown.

Specifically, as follows... Figure 4 As shown.

[0034] In this utility model, the clamping body 1 can be made of high-quality forged steel, and through reasonable machining, heat treatment and surface treatment processes, the mechanical properties, strength, surface hardness and rust prevention of the material can meet the production needs.

[0035] After the workpiece is processed, the main clamping cylinder 8, auxiliary clamping cylinder 13, and auxiliary support cylinder are released through the hydraulic oil circuit, so that the processed workpiece can be removed and the next piece can be installed.
