Questions and Answers
-
Is the ClampMan Classic Suitable for Thermal Imaging Work?
Yes. Fieger lists thermal imaging among its uses, and the multiple degrees of freedom let you position both the board and a camera on a joint stand. The board stays steady while you work.
-
Can I Use This for Soldering and PCB Repair Work?
Yes. Fieger designed it for measuring, soldering and thermal imaging, with hands-free access to both sides of the board.
-
What Maintenance Does the Hydraulic System Need?
Hörger & Gässler, who make the hydraulic joints, publish no maintenance schedule. They state that with proper handling the stands often last more than a generation.
-
How Does This Compare with Magnetic PCB Holders?
In our view, the hydraulic joints give firmer, more precise positioning than a typical magnetic holder: once the star grip is tightened, every joint locks with very high rigidity.
-
Is the System Expandable for Complex Measurement Setups?
Yes. Fieger's accessory sets add joint stands, probe holders and clamping accessories to expand the basic system into larger measurement stations.
-
What Makes the ClampMan Classic Different From Standard PCB Holders?
It uses hydraulic joint stands from Hörger & Gässler (H&G), which Fieger says have been valued for decades in the medical and processing industries. Once clamped, the joints hold with very high rigidity, so probes and cameras don't shift during measurements.
-
Can the ClampMan Classic Safely Hold Powered Circuit Boards?
Fieger designed the Classic for measurements on energised PCBs, with access from both sides, which suits power electronics work. Fieger doesn't describe the Classic's clamps as insulated; for isolated clamping, look at the ClampMan Light ISO with its isolating chucks.
-
How Many Probe Holders Can Be Attached?
The CLM-1001 includes one probing set, and the system takes up to ten joint stands with probe holders. Add more with the ClampMan joint stand 400mm (106327).
-
What Sizes of PCB Can the ClampMan Classic Hold?
Fieger says it holds PCBs of various shapes and formats. It doesn't publish size or thickness limits, so ask us if your board is unusual.
-
How Does the Hydraulic Joint System Work?
Tightening the star grip builds oil pressure inside the joint stand, which clamps every joint rigidly. Adjustment is smooth, and the arm holds firmly once positioned.
