FIXTURE MODIFICATION

Engineering Changes

With over 30 years of industry experience, we’ve made engineering changes to fixtures of every type. Although more costly than changes made to our own fixtures, many customers ask us to serve in this way out of necessity (international fixture source) or because they were unsatisfied with the domestic fixture builder.

Refurbishments

Stuck with a fixture built with super glue and shims? We can re-certify and repair these gages as needed. Customers are given the option of a full refurbishment or only changes necessary to make the gage functional and repeatable.

Repairs

Fixture dropped from a cart? We offer repairs to fixture details. Re-certification of the repaired area or the entire fixture is also offered.
