jigs
& fixtures
 TQC have supplied a
number of jigs and fixtures for the automotive, aerospace and welding industries. The
abilities of our in-house jig and tool design facilities enable simple jigs and more
complex fixtures to be designed to suit the customers requirements.
The examples of jigs and fixtures shown here vary from a
large fixture for measuring and checking a casting for the aerospace industry to a small
cost effective jig to hold an automotive plastic bumper during the manual polishing
process.
Jigs and fixtures along with specific tooling form a
critical element of machinery designed and supplied by TQC, it is this experience which is
used to supply standalone jigs and fixtures to our customers when required.
 To expand on previous
equipment supplied, the following parts have been handled by a TQC jig or fixture.
Equipment supplied to date with integral jigs and fixtures
has included automatic assembly machine solutions, platen based assembly systems, leak
testing stations and other test equipment.
TQC jigs and fixtures can aid manual operations by
aligning parts to reference datums, securing parts so additional functions can be easily
carried out or simply allowing easy access to opposite faces.
Many jigs and fixtures supplied incorporate poka yoke, an
important requirement especially in the automotive industry for ensuring that it is not
possible to produce incorrect parts.
TQC welcomes the opportunity to design and manufacture
jigs and fixtures to client specifications.
