Photo-activated Adhesive Workholding System
Non-Exclusive License Available
|
Allows work-pieces to be held with:
- Minimum Distortion
- Adhesive shrinkage stresses are very small
- Maximum Dynamic Rigidity
- Grippers can be placed nearly anywhere to grab the work-piece with joints that are strong, stiff, and dampen vibration
- Maximum Accessibility
- Allows for minimum number of set ups, maximum part density, or both!
- No Moving Fixture Components
- The adhesive absorbs unwanted part variation and can cure through gaps as large as .12 in. or larger
|
For applications in which the work-piece is difficult to hold due to:
- Geometric complexity
- Geometric variability
- Compliance
- Softness
- Required machining access
Benefits lead to:
- Reduced cycle time
- Reduced cost
- Improved quality
