1. A clipping mechanism for fastening a substrate for a surface treatment of the substrate, comprising:
a clipping bracket, and
an actuation unit comprising an inflatable body,
wherein the clipping bracket comprises in a cross-section a first arm and a second arm,
wherein the first arm is moveable relative to the second arm to a receiving position for the substrate with a receiving distance between the first arm and the second arm and to a fastening position for the substrate with a fastening distance between the first arm and the second arm,
wherein the fastening distance is smaller than the receiving distance,
wherein the actuation unit is at least partially surrounded by the clipping bracket,
wherein the actuation unit comprises a channel extending at least partially along a longitudinal axis (L) of the actuation unit and at least an opening connected to the channel and directed to the clipping bracket to apply a fluid or a gas to the substrate and/or the clipping bracket, and
wherein the inflatable body of the actuation unit is inflatable relative to the clipping bracket to move the first arm in the receiving position or the fastening position.
