Jigs and fixtures are production auxiliary systems used to position, guide and secure parts during manufacturing, welding, assembly, inspection and measurement operations. They reduce operator dependency, standardize repetitive processes and help maintain dimensional consistency in serial production.
Each system is engineered specifically according to part geometry, tolerances, production volume, process type, datum surfaces, clamping points, cycle-time targets, ergonomics and automation requirements.
A jig positions the workpiece and also guides a drill, cutter or similar tool during the operation.
A fixture positions and secures the workpiece against defined datums and holds it stable throughout the process. It does not directly guide the tool; its primary purpose is to ensure part location and repeatability.
Depending on project requirements, the system may include:
Ensure that the part locates against the same datums in every cycle and help limit production variation.
Quick clamping, controlled loading and easy part removal help improve production speed.
Defined loading direction, position and clamping sequence reduce differences between operators.
Poka-yoke details, locating pins, stops and sensors limit incorrect orientation or incomplete placement.
Hold parts stable throughout the process and help reduce gaps, misalignment and deformation.
Replaceable modules allow the system to be updated for product revisions, new variants or capacity increases.
Hold sheet-metal and profile components in the correct geometric position and help limit misalignment and deformation during welding.
Support the joining of multiple components according to defined sequence and datums.
Use guide bushings and tool-guidance elements to direct drilling or cutting tools accurately.
Provide fast checking of dimensions, form, hole position and datum points on manufactured parts.
Prepared according to robot access, sensors, pneumatic clamping and automated cycle scenarios.
Use manual, pneumatic or motorized mechanisms to provide access to different surfaces of the part.
Each project is evaluated individually according to part geometry, process requirements and production scenario.
Part drawings, 3D models, tolerances, process sequence, production volume, cycle time and quality criteria are evaluated.
Locating points, pins, supports, clamping points, tool access, sensors and operator movements are determined.
The supporting frame, machined plates, pins, bushings, stops and custom parts are produced according to technical drawings.
Components are assembled accurately, and grinding, coating, paint, black oxide or corrosion protection is applied where required.
Datum points, clamping movements, sensors, part loading and dimensional stability over repeated cycles are checked.
Trial runs are completed with actual or sample parts, final adjustments are made and the system is handed over with operating and maintenance information.
Product changes, new variants, capacity increases, wear, clamping problems or dimensional variation may require existing jigs and fixtures to be modified.
Following a technical inspection, the following works may be carried out:
Materials and equipment are selected according to process type, accuracy requirements, cycle quantity and operating environment.
Provide durable and cost-effective solutions for supporting frames and primary structures.
Used for locating pins, bushings, stops and precision components exposed to wear.
Can be considered where low weight, easy machining and fast modification are required.
Can be used in special projects requiring hygiene, humidity resistance or high corrosion protection.
Preferred where high cycle speed and controlled clamping force are required.
Part-presence sensors, position sensors, switches and error-proofing components can be integrated.
Projects are not limited to standard fixture structures; they are prepared according to actual part geometry, tolerances, process sequence, cycle time and operator or robot access.
Technical design, steel fabrication, precision machining, assembly, inspection and trial processes are managed within a single project. Mechanical, pneumatic, sensor-equipped and modular modifications can also be carried out on existing jigs and fixtures.
