Blue Photon Technology & Workholding Systems Llc

Tired of struggling with workholding problems? Blue Photon Technology & Workholding Systems LLC can help you simplify workholding for difficult to hold or delicate parts while improving tolerances and part access, reducing scrap and eliminating extra processes. Not the same old workholding… In 2001, Professor Ed De Meter of Penn State University worked with manufacturers to solve a difficult and persistent problem: where and how to hold delicate, complex shaped, or near-net shaped parts for machining without distorting them. The solution was a photo-activated adhesive system that held a workpiece securely and freely, allowing 5 and even 6-sided part access at the same time. Check out the Penn State University PAAW educational site at http://sites.psu.edu/paaw/. His ideas led to a patent for bonding and debonding a workpiece to a manufacturing fixture by use of a Gripper™. Grippers are the key feature of Blue Photon Technology. They are designed to hold adhesive, conduct UV light and support a workpiece. Years of testing and evaluation has made low stress adhesive workholding a workplace reality. Since the inception of the adhesive workholding system, research, development and new products have been introduced. Blue Photon is made up of a diversified team including technical sales agents and design, manufacturing and quality engineers here to assist you in lowering your manufacturing costs. As a dedicated team, we are committed to providing consistently innovative, customer-relevant workholding products and systems that deliver real and lasting value to manufacturers.
