Mechanical Test and Equipment Fixtures

We manufacture a wide range of fixtures and frames that are critical for aircraft applications. Some typical products include assembly fixtures, welding fixtures, clamping fixtures, measurement or inspection fixtures, electrical test fixtures, and gages. In-house tooling, certified MIG & TIG welding, and fabrication capabilities allow us to fabricate fixtures cost-effectively. In the past, we have built critical engine stands, assembly stands, and equipment fixtures for Lockheed Martin. Precision engineered to exact customer drawings, our fixtures are completely tested for durability prior to delivery.

From aluminum to stainless steel, we can build fixtures from any type of material. We employ NADCAP-certified spot welding techniques to offer high quality weldments and assemblies. Assembly fixtures can be finished with mil-spec plating, painting, or anodizing services. Apart from working on customer prints, our in-house engineers also provide assistance in fixture developments. We have Pro-engineer workstations and CAD/CAM systems to help us build 3D models.
