What Is an Edge Clamp?
An Edge Clamp is a tool designed to grip and tighten components or materials using its claw-like part. This design is particularly effective for securely handling materials without causing damage, even on coated surfaces.
Additionally, in the semiconductor industry, the term ‘Edge Clamp’ refers to a device that holds and transports semiconductor wafers (substrates) without coming into direct contact with the wafer’s surface. This function is crucial for avoiding contamination or damage to the delicate substrates.
Tasks such as inserting or removing items from containers, positioning, and transporting, which are prone to human error and risk of damage, can be efficiently and safely performed using Edge Clamps.
Notably, certain variants of Edge Clamps, called Double Edge Clamps, are capable of simultaneously tightening two pieces of material, further enhancing their utility and efficiency.
