Fixtures Manufacturing

Custom Workholding Engineered For Repeatable

Precision Control Systems

Engineering Excellence in Fixtures & Gauges Unlike prototype parts which focus on speed, our fixtures prioritize long-term stability and absolute repeatability for production environments. We transform your quality control requirements into robust physical frames for rigorous inspection and assembly validation. Using high-grade tool steel and precision machining, we deliver workholding solutions that eliminate human error and maintain tight tolerances.

These fixtures allow you to verify dimensional integrity and ensure process consistency before shipping products to your end customers. Beyond their mechanical stability, these fixtures are built with a focus on operator ergonomics and seamless integration into automated workflows.

FIXTURE MANUFACTURING

Precision Workholding Excellence

Inspection & CMM Fixtures

Precision-engineered frames designed for rapid and repeatable part verification using coordinate measuring machines. These provide a stable reference point to ensure micron-level dimensional accuracy across every production batch.

Welding & Assembly Fixtures

Robust workholding solutions ensuring perfect component alignment during high-heat robotic. These tools are engineered to prevent thermal distortion and maintain strict structural tolerances during assembly.

Checking Gauges & Templates

Custom Go/No-Go gauges built for immediate shop-floor validation of critical dimensions, hole positions, and part profiles. These facilitate instant quality feedback without the need for complex digital measurement setups.

Machining & Milling Fixtures

High-stability clamping systems designed to minimize vibration and maximize rigidity during heavy metal-removal operations. These fixtures ensure that tight tolerances are maintained even under high cutting forces and speeds.

Hydraulic Clamping

Automated workholding systems integrated with sensors for high-speed production lines requiring consistent, repeatable clamping force. This reduces operator fatigue and ensures uniform pressure to prevent delicate part deformation.

Attribute & Variable Gauges

Specialized measuring tools developed to provide precise data on part deviations, supporting comprehensive statistical process control. These are essential for safety-critical components requiring 100% inspection and data logging.

Ensuring Precision, Stability, and Repeatability

What types of materials are used for fixture construction?

We primarily utilize high-grade tool steels, aerospace-grade aluminum, and hardened stainless steel. Selecting the right material ensures maximum wear resistance and thermal stability for long-term production use.

How do you guarantee the accuracy of your checking gauges?
Every gauge undergoes rigorous CMM verification against your master CAD data. We provide a comprehensive metrology report and calibration certificate to ensure the tool meets your specific micron-level tolerances.
Can you integrate sensors into automated clamping fixtures?
Yes. We specialize in pneumatic and hydraulic systems equipped with proximity sensors and pressure switches. These provide real-time feedback to your PLC, ensuring the part is correctly loaded before cycles begin.
What is the typical lead time for a custom inspection fixture?
Lead times vary based on complexity, but most standard inspection fixtures are delivered within 3 to 6 weeks. This includes the full cycle of design, precision machining, assembly, and final CMM certification.
Do you offer maintenance or recalibration services?
We provide ongoing support, including wear-part replacement and periodic recalibration. Regular maintenance ensures your fixtures remain accurate and reliable, preventing dimensional drift over years of high-volume production.
How do you handle complex geometries with tight tolerances?
Our team uses advanced 5-axis machining and wire EDM to create intricate nesting and locating features. This allows us to secure complex, thin-walled, or organic shapes without causing part deformation during measurement.
