Blue Photon is Changing Workholding One Application At A Time
Casting Proves Too Malleable for Traditional Gripping
Thomas/Euclid Industries adopted adhesive workholding when their part proved too malleable for traditional workholding methods.
Solving Medical Application Challenges
Intech Medical has simplified their operations and successfully holds delicate parts using Blue Photon's clamp free workholding system.
Workholding for High Accuracy Medical Device Machining
Renishaw Canada faced challenges in workholding for finish machining of delicate 3D printed medical devices. Their hip tracker component flexed imperceptibly when the plastic jaws were clamped resulting in large true position errors.
The Blue Photon solution allowed them to solve their problems by replacing their clamps with UV activated Workholding Adhesive® and grippers.
Problems arise with some turning applications when chuck jaws or other conventional workholding devices for CNC lathes cause a part to distort as clamping force is applied.
The Product Machining Blog outlines how Blue Photon's Adhesive Workholding® can solve these problems when turning.
Turning to an Adhesive for Lathe Workholding
Out of the Blue - Aerospace Application
Aerospace Manufacturing Magazine featured JJ Churchill's use of Blue Photon Workholding Technology to machine challenging aerofoil blades.
Read how they reduced their tooling cost by 5% with a 50% reduction in the number of machining operations on a specific critical part.
Fixturing Solution for Flexing Parts - Milling
Milling is the bulk of the work performed at Precision Grinding and Manufacturing and much of this work involves thin and complex workpieces. Their search for more effective methods for securing these parts led them to the Blue Photon Workholding System.
