Adhesive Workholding Systems for Complex and Difficult-to-Hold Components
Blue Photon Technology & Workholding Systems develops patented UV-activated adhesive workholding systems that provide secure, repeatable fixturing without conventional mechanical clamps. The system combines precision grippers, BlueGrip™ adhesive, and ultraviolet curing technology to hold components during machining while maintaining unrestricted tool access and minimizing workpiece distortion. The technology is widely used for aerospace, medical, optics, additive manufacturing, ceramics, composites, and other applications where conventional clamping limits machining performance or compromises part quality. |

Adhesive Workholding Systems
|
Blue Photon adhesive workholding systems replace conventional mechanical clamping with a patented UV-cured bonding process that securely holds parts during machining while providing unobstructed access to the workpiece.
Each system combines precision grippers, BlueGrip™ adhesive, UV curing technology, and fixture components into a complete solution for milling, turning, grinding, EDM, inspection, and assembly applications. By eliminating clamp interference, manufacturers can machine more features in a single setup, reduce fixture complexity, and improve dimensional accuracy on challenging components. |
Precision Grippers & BlueGrip™ Adhesive
|
At the heart of every Blue Photon system are patented precision grippers and the proprietary BlueGrip™ UV-activated adhesive.
The grippers transmit ultraviolet light through their core to rapidly cure the adhesive while providing a rigid, repeatable connection between the fixture and the workpiece. Available in multiple sizes and configurations, the system securely holds thin-wall parts, complex geometries, delicate finished surfaces, composites, ceramics, and other difficult-to-fixture materials without the distortion associated with conventional clamping methods. |
UV Curing & Process Equipment
|
Blue Photon UV curing equipment is engineered specifically for adhesive workholding applications and includes LED curing controllers, light heads, dispensing equipment, cleaning products, and process accessories.
Rapid curing through the gripper creates consistent adhesive bonds that support demanding machining operations while maintaining repeatable setup procedures. The complete curing system helps manufacturers reduce setup time, improve process consistency, and integrate adhesive workholding into both prototype and production environments. |
Standard & Custom Workholding Solutions
Blue Photon offers both standard workholding components and application-specific fixture solutions to address a wide range of manufacturing challenges. Systems can be integrated into existing fixture plates, quick-change workholding, pallets, and automated machining cells or developed as custom solutions for unique part geometries and production requirements.
