How do you hold additive parts for post-machining?
Blue Photon workholding products are designed to hold complexed-shaped, additive parts for tight-tolerance machining, and final finishing while creating better parts, and lowering manufacturing costs. To learn why we are the world’s solution to holding additive parts, check out the video below:
Blue Photon is ecstatic to announce the following release of their new product video with examples demonstrating the Blue Photon technology and workholding system.
For a more in-depth visual of how Blue Photon’s ultraviolet (UV) workholding technology is a solution to your workholding needs, check out the video below:
The Part: Component of knee implant.
The Material: Cobalt-chromium.
The Problem: Part movement during machining due to the complex shape of the implant and the associated restrictive geometrical and dimensional requirements.
The Solution: Blue Photon’s grip technology, solves workholding struggles by eliminating scrap and rework caused by poor clamping, ensuring that the surface integrity of the implant is not affected.
The Benefit: Allows for automation of your high valued parts.
The Part: Aero engine compressor blade.
The Material: Nickel and titanium.
The Problem: Workpiece distortion due to traditional workholding.
The Solution: Blue Photon’s grip technology eliminates clamp induced scrap and rework.
The Benefit: Allows for automation of your high valued parts.
The Part: A turbine part.
The Material: Ceramic.
The Problem: The brittle nature of ceramic was easily damaged when traditional workholding methods were being used.
The Solution: Blue Photon’s photo-activated workholding system was designed to eliminate scrap from fixture induced damage and part movement during processing.
Additional Benefits: By implementing the Blue Photon workholding system the manufacturer was able to eliminate clamping induced scrap, part movement during machining and increased output feed rates. Overall, the manufacturer saw quality improvements. The new workholding system allows for easy automation of this highly valued part.
