Consistency Over “Skilled Hands”

The fastest lines don’t rely on human intuition—they rely on fixtures, guided motion, and error-proofed steps. We focus on shorter takt time, fewer errors, and smooth automation handoff.

Short Takt Time

Eliminating micro-delays in alignment and fit-up.

Error Proofing

Poka-Yoke geometry prevents wrong orientation.

Robot Ready

Repeatable posture for seamless automated handoff.

Where Lines Lose Money (And How We Fix It)

Hidden Takt Time

Operators fighting fit-up or re-trying insertions cost seconds every cycle.

Fix: Guided locating & self-seating nests.

Intermittent Defects

Parts “almost” aligned or missing seating depth are hard to trace.

Fix: Hard-stops & sensor-ready depth refs.

Wrong-Part Errors

Expensive mistakes that propagate downstream and cause scrap.

Fix: Keyed interfaces & asymmetric locating.

Automation Instability

Robots failing because parts aren’t in a repeatable posture.

Fix: Robot-friendly refs & pickup features.

Building Stations Backwards

Instead of asking “how do we clamp it?”, we analyze the final assembled result and work backwards to ensure speed and error prevention.

Assembly Tooling FAQ

How do you prevent operator errors in assembly?

We use Poka-Yoke geometry (error-proofing). By designing asymmetric nests or keyed interfaces, we make it mechanically impossible to seat a part incorrectly.

Can you design fixtures for robotic pick-and-place?

Yes. We ensure the fixture provides repeatable pickup references and stable posture, allowing robots to work consistently without losing position.

How do you handle frequent ECO/ECN changes?

Our fixtures use modular swappable nests. When a part changes, we only need to rebuild the top interface, keeping the expensive base frame intact.

What is the typical lead time?

Standard lead times range from 3 to 6 weeks. We offer expedited tracks for critical line down scenarios or early-stage prototype builds.
