Workholding Fixture Systems

Grip Pallets

Blue Photon has 52- and 96-mm quick change receivers to allow for holding more applications using existing fixturing systems in machine centers.

Blue Photon 150-, 225-, and 300-mm square pallets offer quick change and adhesive workholding of complex and hard-to-hold parts for EDM, grinding, inspection, laser, and milling operations. These pallets hold parts securely, providing increased machining access on five to six surfaces while using existing fixturing systems in machining centers. The grip pallets were designed to simplify how parts are loaded and held to reduce scrap and increase spindle up-time.

Universal Fixture

Blue Photon’s universal fixture revolutionizes rapid prototype workholding.

The universal fixture saves time and money for prototyping, one-offs and low volume parts because of its capability to easily hold near-net shaped parts; including parts that are generated by additive manufacturing. This results in lower fixture costs, and quick turnaround times.
