Devices that hold, locate and verify the part so the operator performs the same operation the same way, every time.

Line tooling

The fixture is the piece of tooling that decides whether a workstation is fast and repeatable or dependent on the operator's steady hand. In any maquiladora it is indispensable: it holds, it locates and sometimes it verifies. Our design department starts from the real shop-floor need — available space, cycle time, operator ergonomics — and delivers a 3D model for your approval before the first plate is machined.

Designed around the actual station

Before drawing we ask: who will use it, how many times per shift, which hand loads and unloads, and how much space there is. A fixture that is perfect on screen but in the way on the bench is useless. We design with interchangeable locators when the part number will change and with quick clamping when cycle time is tight.

Nests, gages and checking fixtures

Beyond holding, a fixture can verify. We build test nests, go/no-go gages and checking fixtures that tell the operator in one second whether the part is good, without a trip to the metrology lab.

Materials chosen for the duty

Aluminum for what moves, steel for what takes impact, Delrin and UHMW for what touches a delicate surface, hardened steel inserts where wear concentrates. The right mix extends the device's life and protects your customer's product.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

I only have an idea on paper, can you work from that?

That is how most of our fixtures start. With a sketch and the part it will hold, our design department proposes the complete device and you approve before we build.

Can you modify an existing fixture for a new part number?

Yes, and it is almost always cheaper than building a new one. We analyze what can be kept and change only locators and clamping.
