Complex parts made easy with Blue Photon’s adhesive workholding system
By Colin Griffiths
Holding components with adhesive may sound basic, but Blue Photo’s patented BlueGrip offers some intense gripping force for all kinds of parts! Colin Griffiths of MTDCNC and Dan Billings of Blue Photon talk about the process and benefits of using this adhesive workholding solution. With a powerful gripping force of 150, 400, and 600 pounds, Blue Photon’s grippers firmly hold milled parts or turned parts, allowing complete access around the component. BlueGrip is a UV cured adhesive that can hold complex parts and thin, brittle, or delicate parts without distortion. Although removing the adhesive from a component is nice and simple, BlueGrip allows users to make parts right the first time. If you’ve got even larger components to work with, Hear what Dan has to say about custom grippers.
