Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing / Window manufacture for metro transport company
French term or phrase: clamage
For an illustration of "clames" see:
http://sgt-promati.com/project/clamage-rapide-pour-etancheit...
This is not a typo meaning "clamping"/"clamp" - the term is in general use. Nevertheless, I wonder if in origin it was a misspelling of the English word. I've thought of "fastening/fastener" or "clamping"/"clamp" but maybe there's a trade word?

Conception de principe

En définition technique, nous proposons la réalisation de ce projet selon 2 conceptions de fixation caisse.

- Fixation par clamage et vissage
- Fixation par clippage automatique.

Fixation par clippage automatique
(Illustration showing a cross section of window glazing, beading, profiled frame and metal chassis, with the "clame" securing the profiled frame to the metal chassis)

Le principe de montage sur caisse se pratique par « **clamage**automatique ». Cette méthode permet le positionnement de la baie sans avoir à effectuer de préparation (assemblage de **clames** avec vis).
Ce système accepte une variation d’épaisseur de tôle de caisse de 2 à 4 mm.

L’ensemble des composants sont pré-montés sur la baie, donc pas de pièces livrées séparément.

Le montage est simple et rapide, 2 à 3 minutes pour la fixation sur caisse et 3 à 4 minutes pour le blocage par vissage des **clames**.

Thanks Kashew!

agree  philgoddard: I think this must be the meaning. I can't find it in a dictionary, but it looks like a clamp in the asker's picture, and (for what it's worth) clame appears to mean clip in Romanian.
