Automotive Fixtures, Jigs & Special Tooling

In-house design and fabrication of automotive tooling — coating skids, locking fixtures, bumper trolleys, light-stack systems and atomizer tooling. FEA-validated.

Coating Skids & Positioning

Body carriers, skids and positioning devices for conveyor systems, customized per vehicle platform with anti-float locking fixtures.

C-Hanger & Locking Fixtures

Pretreatment/ED C-hanger fixtures and multi-model anti-float locking fixtures — proven across 7+ vehicle models in production.

Bumper Line Tooling

Three-tier FIFO racks, rotary feed trolleys, bumper assembly rotary stations, sanding conveyors and final-inspection light tunnels.

Light-Stack & Inspection

Light-stack systems and inspection light tunnels for paint-surface quality checking and logistics sequencing control.

Atomizer Tooling

Precision atomizer tooling and robot-application fixtures engineered for consistent film build and transfer efficiency.

Transport Trolleys

Multi-tier transfer racks, welding mold storage trolleys and material sequencing carts for paint-shop and assembly logistics.

Typical Tooling & Packages

Conveyor skids

Carry bodies through pretreatment, e-coat and ovens with located supports and anti-float locks.

C-hangers

Body suspension tooling for pretreatment/e-coat lines with fast model changeover.

Locking clamps

Pneumatic locking with mechanical redundancy against bath buoyancy.

Door & lid tooling

Positioning and stay bars protecting paint surfaces and assembly gaps.

Robot tooling

Contour-following rotary tilt stations so bells can reach interiors and hidden faces.

Quick-change system

Model changeover interfaces, minutes instead of shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is locating accuracy ensured?

3-2-1 locating with hardened pads and pins; repeatability on critical faces is typically ±0.5 mm, verified by first-article checks and CMM spot inspection with recorded data.

How do C-hangers handle multiple models?

A common base frame with model-specific support modules and quick-change interfaces; anti-float locks interlock with the conveyor and release at precise positions.

Which materials are used?

6061 aluminium or 304 stainless steel bodies with engineering-plastic insulation. All tooling is statically grounded (≤1 Ω); e-coat tooling uses insulated sections with periodic insulation testing.

Is FEA analysis available?

Yes — load and fatigue checks on hangers and locking mechanisms from the CATIA/SolidWorks model, plus interference checks against bodies and conveyors with GD&T documentation.

What is the typical delivery time?

Standard skid-type tooling is typically 4-8 weeks including design, manufacture and inspection; complex multi-model programs are scheduled to project timing and can target line shutdown windows.

What is special about tooling for bell robots?

Contour-following support and rotation stations, conductive/grounded design and minimal masking — delivered together with our rotary bell integration packages.
