The International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) is just around the corner, and it's shaping up to be a can't-miss event for anyone in the manufacturing industry. F&L Technical Sales is excited to announce that several of our principals will be showcasing their cutting-edge products. Below is a sneak peek at what you can expect! Blue Photon Workholding SystemsDiscover the innovative solutions offered by Blue Photon, a leader in advanced workholding technology. At IMTS, Blue Photon will showcase their 52MM and 96MM pallets, which are designed to enhance precision and efficiency in your machining processes. Blue Photon's 150mm, 225mm, and 300mm square pallets offer quick change and adhesive workholding of complex and hard-to-hold parts for EDM, grinding, inspection, laser, and milling operations. These pallets hold parts securely, providing increased machining access on five to six surfaces while using existing fixturing systems in machining centers. The grip pallets were designed to simplify how parts are loaded and held to reduce scrap and increase spindle up-time.
Dorian Tool Anti-Vibration Boring Bars When it comes to precision and stability in boring operations, Dorian Tool stands out with their Solution Tool Anti-Vibration Boring Bars. These tools are engineered to reduce chatter and vibration, resulting in superior surface finishes and extended tool life. Don't miss the opportunity to see these high-performance tools in action at the Dorian Tool booth.
Horn New Grade IG35Horn USA will be introducing their new grade IG35 as well at IMTS. This latest innovation is designed to deliver exceptional performance in a wide range of materials, offering outstanding wear resistance and extended tool life. The new grade offers improved thermal properties so it really boosts productivity in stainless steel and heat resistant alloys. It allows improved edge adhesion on sharp edge geometries. And don't forget to check out the new new Supermini type 105 sintered chip breaking geometry we talked about last month!
Mate Precision Technoliges Workholding SystemMate Precision Technologies is set to unveil their advanced 52/96 workholding system, designed to provide unmatched precision and stability for your machining operations. These systems are tailored to improve setup times and ensure consistent, high-quality results, making them a must-see at IMTS.

Did you miss IMTS 2022? Check out the video below recapping the Blue Photon adhesive workholding solutions that was on display. Blue Photon’s adhesive workholding solves problems associated with current workholding devices. The technology allows the user to hold parts and most materials without clamping. It also offers fixture design and engineering for milling, turning, grinding, electrical discharge machining (ECM), electro-chemical machining (EDM), 3D printing, laser, inspection, and assembly applications, including aerospace, additive, robotics, and medical machining. Blue Photon Grip Pallets are designed to simplify how parts are loaded, reduce scrap and increase spindle uptime. Available in 150, 225 and 300 mm square pallets, the Grip Pallets are designed for quick change and adhesive workholding of complex and hard-to-hold parts for EDM, grinding, inspection, laser and milling operations. The pallets can hold parts securely, providing increased machining access on five to six surfaces while using standardized fixturing systems already in place. Blue Photon’s grippers are inserted into new external inserts, designed specifically for the Grip Pallets. The external inserts are available for use with small, medium and large grippers. The new inserts allow for simple installation of the grippers at the required height for maximum holding power. The 150-mm square pallet is available in aluminum and steel with a 52-mm pattern for a quick change receiver that will hold up to nine grippers. The 225-mm square pallet is available in aluminum and steel with a 96-mm pattern for a quick change receiver that will hold up to 21 grippers. The 300-mm square pallet is available in aluminum with a 96-mm pattern for a quick change receiver that will hold up to 33 grippers. Each Grip Pallet includes two handles with multiple color choices and four spacers, with a 25.4-mm standoff that allows for the recommended nominal of 1-mm joint thickness between gripper and part. Optional clamp studs are available for both 52 mm and 96 mm patterns for 5th axis, Jergens, Lang and Mate systems. Part can be removed with a ¼ turn twist of the gripper or hot-water soak. Residual adhesive is removed by using a handheld steamer or a hot-water soak and a light peeling action. Check out these details and more from the IMTS video below. If you missed seeing Blue Photon at IMTS 2022, you can always schedule a customer meeting with with one of our team.
