Custom Production Fixtures & Durable Tooling

INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY   •   CUT OPERATING COSTS   •   IMPROVE QUALITY

Recent demands on manufacturing productivity by the global marketplace dictate that CNC machining centers be kept running with minimum downtime between part loading and unloading cycles. This can be accomplished through custom fixturing, commonly known as "Tooling Columns, Cubes, T-Fixtures and Tombstones."

Schmiede can custom design and build fixtures in various configurations and sizes to fit any make and type of CNC machining centers and production requirements. Each fixture is optimized to deliver the maximum productivity for the specific machining center or manufacturing cell.

The rigidity and stability of Schmiede's fixturing have allowed manufacturers to increase their machine's speeds and feeds up to 30% over previous fixture set-ups. Many of our designs incorporate gun-drilled hydraulic passages to minimize chip & coolant accumulation.
