Fixture for automated brazing
Automated brazing station with a flexible design: one fixture runs seven part numbers instead of seven separate fixtures.
Custom fixtures and jigs, designed around your part
Holding, assembly, inspection and material-handling fixtures. We design the fixture from your drawing, your sample part or the problem on your line.

Fixtures and jigs built in Monterrey, Mexico
Checking fixture: holds and checks
The checking fixture holds the part and is also used to measure it. One operation instead of two.
Subassembly jig with locating pins
Locating pins to position and check components before assembly.
Tube-forming fixture
Holding and tube forming in a single station, installed on the customer's line.
Assembly fixture set
A set mounted on a line cart to cover several operations on the same model.
Pneumatic clamping plate
Power-assisted clamping for repeatable assembly, located on the 3-2-1 principle.
Machined clamping components
The fixture components are machined right here, not bought from a catalog.
Machined turned part
Turned and ground components for the fixture itself or for the customer's machine.
3-2-1 locating principle
Every part needs six points of contact to be fully constrained. That is the starting point for every fixture that leaves this plant.
- Three supports on the primary plane: they seat the part
- Two on the secondary plane: they align it
- One on the tertiary plane: it locks it in place
- Six points, zero degrees of freedom
Why we bring it up
Because it is the difference between a fixture that repeats and one that only holds. Every fixture we deliver starts from a defined locating scheme, not from adding clamps until the part stops moving.
What we get asked before quoting a fixture
The questions that come up on the first call. If yours isn't here, send it by WhatsApp.
Do I need a drawing to get a fixture quote?
No. We work from a drawing, a STEP file, a photo of the part or the physical sample part. A description of the problem on your line is also enough to start.
What file formats do you accept?
PDF, DWG and STEP. Send them by WhatsApp to +52 81 8706 7945 or attach them to an email to ventas@maquinadosyproductos.com.
How do you make sure the fixture repeats?
Every fixture starts from the 3-2-1 locating principle: three supports on the primary plane seat the part, two on the secondary plane align it and one on the tertiary plane locks it in place. Six points of contact, zero degrees of freedom. That is the difference between a fixture that repeats and one that only holds the part.
Are the clamping components off-the-shelf?
No. The components are machined in our plant, not bought from a catalog. That lets us design the fixture around your part instead of fitting the part to whatever was available.
Can one fixture both hold and check the part?
Yes, and we recommend it when the operation allows. A fixture that holds the part and is also used to measure it turns two operations into one.
Do you build checking fixtures?
Yes. A checking fixture is an inspection fixture: it holds the part in its datum position so you can measure critical dimensions or check geometry with go/no-go gauges. We design it from the part drawing and machine it in the same plant in Monterrey.
