MULTI-PURPOSE VACUUM CLAMP TABLE

摘要

In one embodiment, an apparatus for constraining an object includes a first clamping surface configured to apply a first holding force to a first surface of the object; a second clamping surface configured to apply a second holding force to a second surface of the object; and an actuator configured to selectively move the second clamping surface relative to the first clamping surface.

主权项

1. A method of constraining an object, comprising:
applying a first holding force to the object to hold the object against a first clamping surface; performing a first vibrational modal analysis on the object; applying a second holding force to the object to hold the object against a second clamping surface; changing a resonant characteristic of the object; releasing the second clamping surface from the object; and performing a second vibrational modal analysis on the object.
