Abstract: An automotive assembly line tool system and method utilizing a heat-shrinkable bumper disposed around a portion of an assembly line tool for absorbing kinetic energy between the portion of the tool and a work-piece on an assembly line. The bumper may be a chemically cross-linked polyolefin heat-shrinkable material having a shore D hardness of 42 or less after being heat-shrunk. The bumper may be a tubular bumper that has a continuous outer surface around its circumference and a heavy wall that is highly split-resistant. The bumper may have a life term of at least one year in an automotive assembly line environment. By protecting the tools and equipment, chips and scratches on a work-piece on the assembly line may be reduced.

Abstract translation: 一种汽车装配线工具系统和方法，其利用设置在组装线工具的一部分周围的热收缩保险杠，用于吸收工具的该部分与装配线上的工件之间的动能。 保险杠可以是热收缩后的肖氏D硬度为42以下的化学交联聚烯烃热收缩材料。 保险杠可以是管状保险杠，其周围具有连续的外表面和高度分裂的重壁。 保险杠在汽车装配线环境中的使用寿命至少为一年。 通过保护工具和设备，可以减少装配线上的工件上的碎屑和划痕。
