Abstract

A target clamp includes at least one plate, a biasing element disposed adjacent the plate, and an actuator adjacent the biasing element. When a target is disposed between the biasing element and the plate, the actuator can be moved from a first position to a second position to cause the biasing element to forcefully engage the target, thereby holding the target between the plate and the biasing element.
