Questions fréquemment posées

Conception et production de gabarits et montages

  • How do I choose between CNC-machined, welded, or 3D-printed fixtures?

    • CNC-machined fixtures → highest precision, best for machining operations
    • Welded/fabricated fixtures → ideal for large, structural, or heavy-duty applications
    • 3D-printed fixtures → best for prototypes, mockups, or low-load assembly tasks
    • Hybrid approaches are often used to balance strength, weight, and cost.
       
  • What is the difference between a jig and a fixture?

    A jig guides the cutting or drilling tool to the correct location.
    A fixture securely holds and locates the workpiece during machining, welding, or assembly but does not guide the tool.

    Use a jig when tool path accuracy is essential; use a fixture when part stability and repeatability are the priority.

  • When should I use a custom fixture instead of standard work-holding?

    Choose a custom fixture when you need:

    • Tight tolerances or GD&T-critical features
    • High repeatability across long production runs
    • Reduced setup time and human error
    • Complex or delicate part geometries
    • Better cycle time and throughput

      Standard vises and clamps cannot maintain the same datum accuracy or long-term consistency as a custom fixture. 

  • How does fixture design improve repeatability and reduce operator error?

    Custom fixtures define fixed datums, locator points, clamp positions, and engagement surfaces, so every part sits exactly the same way for every cycle.
    This eliminates:

    • Manual measuring
    • Misalignment
    • Inconsistent clamping
    • Part movement or chatter during machining

      The result is predictable accuracy and fewer production defects. 

  • Can fixtures wear out or lose accuracy over time? How do you prevent this?

    Yes. Continuous use introduces:

    • Surface wear
    • Locator damage
    • Fatigue or distortion
    • Clamp degradation

    To prevent accuracy loss, we design fixtures with: 

    • Hardened and replaceable locator surfaces
    • Wear-resistant inserts
    • Balanced clamp force distribution
    • Shim-based adjustability
    • CMM-based periodic inspection
    • A well-maintained fixture stays accurate across thousands of cycles.
        
  • Can custom fixtures reduce cycle time and production cost?

    Absolutely. Fixtures directly improve efficiency by:

    • Minimizing setup and changeover time
    • Reducing rework or scrap
    • Speeding up part loading/unloading
    • Supporting automation and semi-automation

      Over large production volumes, fixtures often deliver significant cost savings per part.  

  • Which industries benefit most from jig & fixture design?

    Our fixtures serve:

    • Automotive (welding, BIW, assembly)
    • Aerospace (precision drilling, inspection)
    • Industrial equipment
    • Electronics & PCB assembly
    • Robotics and automation
    • Dispositifs médicaux

      These sectors rely on tight tolerances, repeatability, and process stability. 

  • Are custom fixtures useful for low-volume or prototype work?

    Yes, when:

    • The part has critical tolerances
    • The geometry is complex
    • Manual alignment risks damaging the part
    • Multiple prototype cycles are expected

    Lightweight or 3D-printed prototype fixtures can also be used for early stages.

     

  • What design standards ensure a fixture is accurate and safe to use?

    A well-engineered fixture follows:

    • Proper datum & locating schemes
    • Zero over-constraint
    • Even clamp force distribution
    • Controlled rigidity & deflection
    • Tool clearance & ergonomic requirements
    • Wear-resistant surfaces at all high-contact zones

    These best practices ensure accuracy, operator safety, and long-term stability.
