Abstract
Implementations of a clamp finger may include a first portion including at least one tip configured to clamp a substrate against an anvil during a bonding operation; and a second portion including a first opening therethrough configured to permit coupling of the second portion with a clamping bridge. The first portion may be slidably coupled with the second portion through a rail and the first portion may include an opening therethrough configured to receive a screw that fixedly couples the at least one tip of the first portion at a desired position relative to the second portion.

A clamp finger comprising:
- a first portion comprising at least one tip configured to clamp a substrate against an anvil during a bonding operation;
- and
- a second portion comprising a first opening therethrough configured to permit coupling of the second portion with a clamping bridge;
- wherein the first portion is slidably coupled with the second portion through a rail;
- and
- wherein the first portion comprises an opening therethrough configured to receive a screw that fixedly couples the at least one tip of the first portion at a desired position relative to the second portion.
A clamp finger comprising:
- a tip portion comprising a rail;
- and
- a fastening portion comprising a groove that receives the rail therein and a first opening therethrough configured to permit coupling of the fastening portion with a clamping bridge;
- wherein the tip portion comprises an opening therethrough that receives a screw that fixedly couples the tip portion at a desired position relative to the fastening portion allowing the tip portion to be adjustable from a first lower down-set position to a second higher down-set position through sliding the rail of the tip portion through the groove of the fastening portion.
A clamp finger comprising:
- a tip portion comprising a rail and an opening therethrough;
- a fastening portion comprising:
- a groove that receives the rail therein;
- and
- a first opening therethrough configured to permit coupling of the fastening portion with a clamping bridge;
- and
- a retaining portion comprising a setscrew positioned to retain the rail of the tip portion at a desired tip position configured to clamp a substrate against an anvil during a bonding operation.
