Fixture Design & Manufacturing

Complete turn-key solution for inspection fixture design, manufacture, and installation

Fixturing is a critical part of the inspection process and a robust design is essential.

Poor fixturing can lead to parts failing to meet the required specification. We offer a full turn-key solution that includes the design, manufacture and installation of inspection fixtures. Our team has a wealth of experience, across multiple industries, in the design and use of bespoke fixturing.

Reduced Setup Time

Minimal setup time between measurements for faster throughput

Improved Repeatability

Consistent part positioning leads to better measurement repeatability

Bespoke Solutions

Custom-designed fixtures tailored to your specific parts and requirements

What Makes a Good Fixture?

  • Minimal setup time - Quick and easy part loading
  • Sufficient support - Proper part constraint to prevent deflection
  • Required access - Allow probe access to all critical features
  • Increased repeatability - Consistent part location every time
  • Improved results - Better measurement accuracy and confidence

CMM Fixture Advantages

Using a good fixture on a CMM can vastly improve throughput through the inspection department. Multiple parts can be loaded at once and be left to run whilst the Inspector carries out other tasks.

Modular Base Plate System

To help reduce set up time between products, we can supply fixtures on their own base plate if required. By using multiple plates, these can be quickly swapped over to reduce downtime between measurements.

Quick-change fixture plates minimize CMM downtime
