Frequently Asked Questions
Have a Question?
-
Is the system expandable for complex measurement setups?
Yes, the modular design allows extensive customisation. You can add additional hydraulic arms, different probe holders, and specialised clamping accessories from the Fieger Clampman Catalogue to create comprehensive measurement stations.
-
How does this compare to magnetic PCB holders?
While magnetic holders offer convenience, the ClampMan Classic provides superior stability and precision positioning. The hydraulic joints eliminate the positioning limitations of magnetic systems and won't interfere with sensitive electronic measurements.
-
What maintenance does the hydraulic system require?
The hydraulic joints are sealed units requiring minimal maintenance. Occasional cleaning of external surfaces and checking joint tightness is typically sufficient. The robust German engineering ensures decades of reliable operation with proper care.
-
Can I use this for soldering and PCB repair work?
Yes, the ClampMan Classic excels at precision soldering operations and PCB repair. The stable clamping system provides hands-free access to both sides of the board, while the heat-resistant construction handles soldering temperatures safely.
-
Is the ClampMan Classic suitable for thermal imaging work?
Absolutely. The stable platform and multiple positioning degrees make it excellent for thermal imaging applications. The non-conducting clamps won't interfere with thermal readings, and the system holds boards steady during camera positioning.
-
How does the hydraulic joint system work?
The hydraulic joints use H&G's precision technology where tightening the star-grip knob activates internal hydraulic pressure to clamp all joint segments with maximum rigidity. This provides smooth adjustment with exceptional holding power once positioned.
-
What sizes of PCBs can the ClampMan Classic accommodate?
The flexible clamping system accommodates various PCB shapes and formats within the arm's reach. The adjustable clamps handle different board thicknesses and irregular geometries, making it suitable for prototype and production boards alike.
-
How many probe holders can be attached to the system?
The standard CLM-1001 includes one probe holder, but the system supports up to ten hydraulic joint stands with probe holders. Additional arms can be added using the Clampman 400 Hydraulic Arm for expanded measurement capabilities.
-
Can the ClampMan Classic safely hold powered circuit boards?
Yes, the ClampMan Classic is specifically designed for safe measurements on energised PCBs. The non-conducting clamping arms and isolation features allow secure testing from both sides of powered boards, making it ideal for power electronics applications.
-
What makes the ClampMan Classic different from standard PCB holders?
The ClampMan Classic features precision hydraulic joint technology from H&G, the same system used in medical and processing industries. This provides exceptional stability and eliminates positioning drift during measurements, unlike basic mechanical clamps that can shift under load.
