Magnetic clamping heat sink assembly

A method of fixing a membrane to a surface, the method comprising:

• affixing a metallic washer having a heat-activated adhesive layer on a surface;
• arranging a membrane on top of the surface and the heat-activated adhesive layer of the metallic washer;
• heating the metallic washer via an inductive heating tool to activate the heat-activated adhesive layer such that the membrane is fixable to the metallic washer via the heat-activated adhesive layer bonding to the membrane;
• positioning a magnetic clamping heat sink assembly on the membrane adjacent to the metallic washer, the magnetic clamping heat sink assembly including a magnetic assembly including a carrier body defining at least one seat in which at least one magnet is arranged, and a spring resiliently biasing the carrier body;
• magnetically clamping the magnetic clamping heat sink assembly to the metallic washer via magnetic attraction between the at least one magnet in the magnetic clamping heat sink assembly and the metallic washer causing the magnetic clamping heat sink assembly to apply a force against the membrane when the magnetic clamping heat sink assembly sufficiently overlaps the metallic washer to form a secure bond;
• and
• cooling the metallic washer, the heat-activated adhesive layer, and the membrane by removing heat through the magnetic clamping heat sink assembly.
