Abstract
A two-piece clamp for securing elongate cylindrical members, such as pipe, tubing, conduit or hose, to a channel. The two-piece clamp has two clamp halves fabricated with an aperture at one end. A stud is non-rotatably secured in the aperture of one of the clamp halves and is adapted to be detachably secured in the aperture of the other clamp half. A spacer may be integrally formed on the stud for permitting the clamp halves to be squarely clamped together. The method and machine for securing the stud to a clamp half features an automated assembly system for forming one end of the stud after assembling the clamp half thereon to securely lock the stud onto the clamp half.
