🐾 It's National Work Like a Dog Day! 🐾

Today we celebrate strong work ethics and honor the long history of hardworking dogs that have faithfully served alongside people for generations.

Here at Blue Photon, our shop dogs, Gracie and Lilly, proudly carry on that tradition. As our official office greeters, they never miss a chance to welcome visitors with enthusiastic tail wags, happy faces, and plenty of excitement. They take their jobs very seriously—and they never seem to run out of energy!

While these two are our Workholding Heroes, they're backed by an incredible team that works just as hard every day. From engineering and manufacturing to customer support and sales, our team is dedicated to helping customers solve their toughest workholding challenges and achieve their manufacturing goals.

Here's to Gracie, Lilly, and all the hardworking people (and pups!) who help keep the workholding revolution moving forward.

Happy National Work Like a Dog Day! 🐶💙

Your projects are becoming more and more complex, but your workholding isn't keeping up.

We hear this all of the time!

Here are the top 5 reasons manufacturers are ditching the clamps and switching to Adhesive Workholding®:

1. Less Scrap & Damage - Gripping parts with UV workholding technology minimizes or eliminates distortion caused by clamping.

2. Improved Part Access - Patented gripper technology opens up machine access, allowing you to reach more of the part.

3. Fewer Operations - Improves setup time, accuracy and capacity by reducing the number of setups and operations.

4. Simplified Fixture Design - Reduces fixturing costs and eliminates the need for traditional clamps.

5. Higher Efficiency - Easily integrates into fully automated operations.

Tolerance slipping away? Your workholding may be the problem.

Traditional clamps can introduce stress into your part, leading to distortion and making it difficult to maintain the tight tolerances your customers expect.

Blue Photon Adhesive Workholding® eliminates clamping forces, helping you hold parts securely without compromising dimensional accuracy.

When precision matters, don't let your workholding be the reason parts fall out of tolerance.

Ditch the clamps. Stick with precision.
