Examples of our work
Photographs of manufactured components. Scope and requirements are agreed against the project documentation.
Tooling for welding processes
Stable part location and controlled access to weld seams
We manufacture welding fixtures for manual and robotic processes, including large frames, bases, beams, clamps, locating components and interfaces to rotators or positioners. Manufacturing is carried out to customer documentation.
Fixture components
A complete structure prepared for production
Frame and base
Welded supporting structure prepared for datum machining, assembly and the specified loads.
Part location
Plates, pins, supports, stops and change parts to the customer's datum scheme.
Clamping and access
Mechanical clamps and working space for the torch, operator or robot.
Equipment interface
Connection to a rotator, positioner or station to the supplied interface documentation.
Manufacturing
A process combining welding, machining and adjustment
Multi-stage fixtures require controlled relationships between datums, clamping points and the production sequence. We handle the agreed package as one controlled project.
- component preparation and identification
- welding the structure in a controlled sequence
- intermediate inspection and preparation of the structure for the next operation where specified
- machining datum surfaces after welding
- assembly and adjustment of locating elements
- measurement, optional report and acceptance preparation
Process control
Tooling prepared for a defined welding sequence
Load the parts
Access to datums and supports follows the specified loading sequence.
Locate and clamp
Mechanical clamping elements are installed and adjusted to the documentation.
Weld in stages
Clearance for welds and tools is maintained through the successive process stages.
Release and inspect
The component can be removed, checked and the next repeatable cycle started.
How components are made
Production process visualisations. Scope and equipment are selected for the agreed project.
