Jigs, fixtures and machine components made or reworked to get your line running and keep it running.
A good fixture holds the part in the same place every time, so every part comes out the same. ABS Tool & Machining builds jigs and fixtures for machining, assembly, welding and inspection, designed around your part and your process.
When a machine component breaks or wears out, especially an obsolete one you can't buy anymore, we can rework it or make a new one from the old part. That keeps older equipment productive without waiting on the original maker.
Typical jobs
Workholding fixtures
Holds the part accurately for machining operations.
Inspection fixtures and gauges
Fast go/no-go checks right at the machine.
Assembly and welding jigs
Locates parts so they go together the same way every time.
Component repair
Worn shafts, bores and machine parts reworked to size.
Obsolete part replacement
New parts made when the original is no longer available.
Reverse-engineering
Measure a sample and make a new part from it.
- Tell us the jobThe part, the operation, and what's going wrong.
- Plan the fixture or repairLocating, clamping and access worked out with you.
- BuildComponents machined and assembled in-house.
- Try-outChecked with your part so it works the first time.
- DeliverReady for your line.
Fixtures can mix materials: steel where it wears, aluminum where weight matters, and printed nests for delicate parts.
Can you design the fixture, or do I need a drawing?
Bring the part and tell us the operation. We'll work out the locating and clamping with you.
Can you copy a broken part from an old machine?
Often, yes. Bring the broken part, even in pieces, and we'll measure what's there.
Can you repair instead of replace?
When it makes sense, yes. Reworking a worn part is often faster and less expensive.
