Manual Custom Workholding Fixtures
Not every job requires automation—sometimes a well-designed manual fixture is the smartest solution. Our custom manual workholding fixtures rely on intuitive, operator-friendly mechanisms to securely hold your parts. We engineer each fixture so that clamping and unclamping is quick and foolproof. Manual fixtures are especially well-suited for high-mix machining, prototyping, or any situation where flexibility and simplicity are key.
Key Advantages of Manual Fixtures
- Versatile Workholding | Adaptable designs accommodate parts of various shapes and sizes. We tailor clamp points, supports, and locators to match your workpiece, ensuring a solid hold on even the most challenging geometries.
- Quick, Easy Operation | Ergonomic levers and handles let your operators lock parts in place with minimal effort, speeding up changeovers and improving overall throughput.
- Cost-Effective & Low Maintenance | Fewer components mean less maintenance, lower upfront cost, and long-term reliability on the shop floor.
- Precision Alignment | Our fixtures use hardened precision components to achieve accurate, repeatable positioning of your part for each machining cycle.
Custom Fixture Design Process
Every manual fixture is custom-built to solve your specific fixturing challenge. We collaborate closely with your team to balance strength, ease of use, and precision in the design. The result is a dependable fixture that gives your machinists confidence in every setup and consistent results, part after part.
Step 1
Before build, we review the 3D design with you to ensure it meets your requirements.
Step 2
Then our team conducts thorough testing – including pressure/leak checks and CMM verification of critical dimensions – so you can be confident the fixture will perform reliably on your shop floor.
Step 3
The result is a turnkey hydraulic or pneumatic fixture built around your part and process, ready to elevate production efficiency from day one.
