PROBLEMS WE SOLVE
Clamps are History... Stick to the Future
​Distortion
Part defacing
Chipping of brittle parts
Blocking cutting tool and coolant access to the part
The Blue Photon system alleviates problems caused by part clamping:
Traditional, mainstream workholding has remained essentially the same for generations; squeeze the part against hard fixture points and support compliant areas with work supports.
​
As workpieces have become more and more complex and new materials have been introduced, part holding for machining has become increasingly difficult.​
Grip Without Boundaries!
Blue Photon blows traditional workholding away for SO many reasons!
​Five- (sometimes six-) sided access to your workpiece.
Elimination of workpiece distortion.
Reduction in total set-up time.
Reduction or elimination of machining chatter.​
Simplification of fixture design and reduction in fixturing cost.
Elimination of clamping lugs and the need to remove them from castings.
Easy automation of hard-to-hold parts.
Adhesive gap compensates for part variation.
Number of operations is often reduced.​
Can Blue Photon Hold YOUR Part?
The Blue Photon Adhesive Workholding® system is designed to solve your workholding challenges by securing traditionally
hard-to-hold parts.
It is very well-suited to hold:
​Additive manufactured parts
Castings
Thin-walled parts
Parts that are easily distorted
Brittle or fragile parts
Parts with multiple machined surfaces
Parts with small tolerances
