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.
