Zusammenfassung:A CLAMP ASSEMBLY HOLDS AN INTEGRATED LEAD SUSPENSION DURING ASSEMBLY. THE CLAMP ASSEMBLY HAS A NUMBER OF FEATURES FOR PRECISELY POSITIONING THE INTEGRATED LEAD SUSPENSION WHILE TRANSDUSER HEADS ARE BEING MECHANICALLY AND ELECTRICALLY CONNECTED TO IT. THE CLAMP ASSEMBLY WORKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH A STATIONARY PLATFORM WHICH RESTRICTS MOVEMENT OF THE SUSPENSION IN THREE DIRECTIONS. THE CLAMP ASSEMBLY INCLUDES UPPER AND LOWER SUPPORT PLATES WHICH COMPENSATE FOR LATERAL MISALIGNMENT, AND A PAIR OF CLAMPS WHICH INDEPENDENTLY ISOLATE THE SUSPENSION AND SLIDER WHILE COMPENSATING FOR ROTATIONAL MISALIGNMENT.FIGURE 1
