    摘要: A clamping device can be configured to clamp an object on a support. The clamping device can include a first device configured to exert an attracting force on the object, and a second device configured to exert a rejecting force on the object. The first device and second device can be configured to simultaneously exert an attracting and a rejecting force on the object to shape the object to a desired shape before clamping of the object on the support. A method is provided for loading an object on a support, comprising the steps of shaping the object in a desired shape spaced from the support. The shaping can include subjecting the object simultaneously to an attracting force pulling the object toward the support and a rejecting force pushing the object away from the support, and clamping the object on the support.
