Abstract (en)

A pin clamp (2) for clamping a workpiece includes a housing (4) having a longitudinal axis and a locating pin (6) extending through the housing. The locating pin (6) is sized to be positioned within an opening of the workpiece. A finger (10) is positioned adjacent to the locating pin (6) and movable in a transverse direction relative to the longitudinal axis to retain the workpiece on the locating pin (6). An exterior driving linkage (150) is configured to move the locating pin (6) in opposite directions along the longitudinal axis. A locking arrangement is carried by the housing. A sequence cam (54) is connected with the exterior driving linkage (150) thereby allowing axial movement of the exterior driving linkage (150) to be converted into transverse movement of the sequence cam. The sequence cam (54) includes an engagement surface which engages the locking arrangement to lock the locating pin (6) and the finger (10) against the workpiece upon retraction of the exterior driving linkage.
