Custom Production Fixture

A workholding fixture that cut setup time and eliminated operator guesswork on a repetitive assembly step.

The Challenge

The Challenge

An assembly operation depended on the operator positioning parts by eye, leading to scrap and slow setup.

Engineering

Engineering

ReShape engineered a location-based workholding fixture keyed to the part geometry, removing the need for visual alignment.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing

Machined and assembled in-house, with hardened locating pins where wear was expected.

Implementation

Implementation

Dropped into the existing workcell with no changes to surrounding tooling or workflow.

Results

Results

  • Eliminated setup guesswork
  • Reduced scrap
  • Faster cycle time
