Markets
Our innovative Adhesive Workholding® system is solving problems for manufacturers across many different industries.
From machining optical glass to medical and jet propulsion components, Blue Photon is unlike any workholding system in the world.
Aerospace
Our UV activated Adhesive Workholding® system is ideal for problems common within the aerospace industry including difficult materials (ceramics, composites, titanium, superalloys, etc).
Manufacturers enjoy lower fixture costs with faster turnaround times.
Ceramics
Our Adhesive Workholding® technology allows technical ceramic manufacturers to hold fragile, delicate and complex technical ceramic materials for machining.
The elimination of wax, resin and mechanical clamp operations allows for the manufacturing of higher quality parts while reducing scrap and lowering costs.
High and Low Volume Production
Production environments benefit from a flexible and efficient workholding method that is easily introduced into fully automated environments. Our patented Adhesive Workholding® system can be easily integrated into most production lines to reduce fixture costs and expedite turnaround time.
Once a part is bonded to the transfer tool, it is quickly moved from one operation to the next while reducing the risk of inaccuracy during part transfer.
Job Shops
Job shops benefit greatly from the flexibility and rapid changeover ability that the Blue Photon system provides.
Medical
Blue Photon facilitates first-pass machining and finishing in a single setup that is critical to medical device manufacturing. Moving workpieces between machines increases the risk of inaccurate positioning and increased labor costs. Our workholding system helps produce high quality, high tech devices with lower fixture costs and faster turnaround times.
Optics and Photonics Machining
Optics are challenging to hold due to the brittle nature of glass. Traditional workholding methods using wax, resin and mechanical clamps require many steps for set-up operations making the machining process very time consuming. Our Adhesive Workholding® solution simplifies the process while ensuring that the surface integrity of the glass is not affected.
Prototyping
Manufacturers who specialize in rapid prototyping, one-off parts or low volume parts benefit greatly from our workholding solution. Blue Photon's ability to easily hold near-net shaped parts, including those generated by additive manufacturing, results in lower costs and faster turn-around times.
