Production-Ready Welding Tooling
In welding, the fixture decides the part quality before the arc ever starts. We design and build fixtures that hold shape, control distortion, and survive production abuse.
Why Welding Fixtures Fail
Most welding problems are blamed on parameters, but they usually start with the tooling. A welding fixture is not a static tool—it’s a thermal and mechanical system.
Geometry Drift
Parts shift during welding causing critical dimension loss.
Thermal Distortion
Heat accumulation causes the entire part to warp or bow.
Wrong Springback
Incorrect clamp sequencing leads to springback after release.
Our Welding Fixture Philosophy
Heat-Aware Restraint
We hold where geometry matters but let the part “float” where heat must move. We restrain in sequence, not all at once, to prevent internal stresses.
Geometry-First Locating
Datums are aligned to final functional geometry, not just raw edges. We ensure repeatable seating before any clamping force is applied.
Built for Repetition
Designed for thousands of cycles. We use replaceable wear components and clamp forces that stay consistent over three-shift production.
Welding Fixtures & Jigs We Build
Robotic Welding Fixtures
Built for repeatability and collision-free robot access. Synchronized clamp timing with weld sequences.
Design Focus
- • Minimal obstruction for torch clearance
- • High thermal stability under repetitive arcs
- • Automotive & EV structural assembly ready
Manual Welding Jigs
When consistency depends on the fixture—not the operator. Intuitive loading with clear seating feedback.
Design Focus
- • Ergonomic clamp layouts for fast loading
- • Reduced dependency on operator judgment
- • Tack welding & sub-assembly stations
Pre-Weld Jigs
Fixtures that set geometry before distortion begins. Easy release without springback surprises.
Design Focus
- • Geometry locking without over-restraint
- • Controlled tack locations for pre-alignment
- • Sensitive structure alignment
Large Structure Fixtures
For assemblies where gravity and scale work against you. Frames, racks, and heavy enclosures.
Design Focus
- • Thermal expansion allowances over long spans
- • Section-by-section restraint logic
- • Structural stiffness & long-term stability
How We Control Distortion
We don’t rely on “stronger clamps.” We produce parts that measure the same at station 1 and station 500 by managing the thermal-mechanical balance.
Support Mapping
Supporting geometry where it matters, not just everywhere.
Clamp Sequencing
The order of force application matters as much as the force itself.
Asymmetric Restraint
Allowing heat to move naturally instead of fighting it.
Release Logic
Ensuring parts don’t snap out of shape when unclamped.
Thermal System Design
Our fixtures account for the expansion and contraction cycles that define high-quality weldments.
Designed for Production, Not Just Try-Out
Multi-Shift Ready
Built to withstand the heat and mechanical stress of 24/7 lines.
Easy Maintenance
Fast replacement of wear items and easy-clean surfaces.
Full Docs
Maintenance, adjustment notes, and revision-controlled drawings.
ECO-Friendly
Modular architectures that don’t force full rebuilds for changes.
The Welding Fixture Development Process
Phase 01
Review & Strategy
Geometry, weld locations, heat input, and distortion risks analysis.
Phase 02
Concept Design
