Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9914119A2] An encasement machine (10) is provided to clamp a case (32) around an object (28) having a contour. The machine (10) includes a spacer mount (20), an actuator (14, 16), and a spacer (22). The spacer mount (20) defines an encasement region (26) and is adapted to receive the object (28) and case (32) in the encasement region (26). The actuator is coupled to the spacer mount (20) to move the spacer mount (20) between first and second positions. The spacer (22) is coupled to the spacer mount (20) to move with the spacer mount (20) between the first and second positions. The spacer (22) has a first surface (54) coupled to the spacer mount (20) and a second surface (52) that is adapted to face toward the object (28) and case (32). The second surface (52) has a contour that is substantially identical to the contour of the object (28).
