ABOUT US
Changing the Face of Workholding!
Our technology was born in 2011 when Professor Ed De Meter of Penn State University partnered with manufacturers to solve a difficult and persistent problem; holding delicate, complex shaped or near-net shaped parts for machining without distorting them.
​
Professor De Meter's ideas led to a patent for bonding and debonding of a workpiece to a manufacturing fixture using a specialized gripper. These grippers are designed to hold adhesive, conduct ultraviolet (UV) light and support a workpiece and are the key feature of the Blue Photon system. Years of testing and evaluation have made low stress Adhesive Workholding® a workplace reality.
​
Since the inception of the Adhesive Workholding® system, research and development continues and the product family has grown.
