Description
The EM-Tec V22 compact vise clamp includes a 2.5mm allen key to operate the spindle screw for opening and closing this compact vise clamp. Available with either the standard 3.2mm pin or an M4 threaded hole for mounting on the SEM sample stage.
Operation
Consider wearing gloves to avoid contamination.
- To open the EM-Tec V22 compact vise type holder, insert the allen key in the screw at the front of the holder (straight aluminium face). Turning the allen key anti-clockwise will open the jaws; the moving jaw is at the back.
- Place the sample in the opening (up to 22mm).
- To close the jaws, turn the allen key clockwise and clamp the sample. Be careful not to over-tighten the screw.
Even very thin samples can be securely held in the EM-Tec V22 compact vise type sample holder. For delicate samples, consider lining the jaws with conductive soft material.
