Advanced Tooling & Fixturing

You need a partner who understands the unique requirements of advanced tooling and fixturing—someone with all the skillsets under one roof but not someone so big that the engineers are hidden behind management and salespeople. Invent Automation is an expert in all things tooling and fixturing. From all pneumatic systems for the harshest of environments, to complex mistake proof fixtures, we live and breathe this world every day.

You need engineers and inventors knowledgeable in:

1. Advanced fixturing techniques
2. Making accurate mistake-proof tooling
3. Integrating controls, logic and having tooling talk to other machines
4. Ability to produce very accurate tooling, not just draw it
5. Well versed in the ever-evolving world of fixture and tooling components

Common pitfalls of custom tooling and fixturing projects that we ensure you don’t fall into:

1. Not focusing on accuracy and repeatability 
2. Not considering the environment and operator in the design
3. Forgetting these things must be moved around often!

We’ve been to hundreds of plants and seen thousands of projects. We’ve rescued tooling projects, learned from others' mistakes, made some of our own, and know what it takes to make world class tooling and fixturing successful.

Our custom machine-building process starts with a phone call and a visit where we listen, throw around crazy ideas, and ask “what if” together. It’s a lot of fun compared to the daily grind. But we don’t prescribe before diagnosing. We seek to understand the drivers and business results that warrant the investment in a custom machine. You want a bespoke custom machine tailored to your needs, and it must deliver business results on time so you can make a return on your investment. We know it’s not about deploying a particular technology or brand; it’s all about achieving your business goal.

Your crazy idea might work. We exist to Invent Automation. Call, email, or chat with us here and talk to an inventor who gets it, so your custom machine can get built and you can get that win.
