Vacuum chuck conforms to complex surface contours. Gripping surface is polyurethane panel embedded with links of roller chain. Panel flexes under vacuum to adjust to surface contour, and then bolts are tightened to lock configuration. Possible applications of new chuck are in pull-testing contoured surfaces, holding assemblies together for repairs, or for handling unusually-shaped parts.
