Tooling & Workholding
The right setup makes all the difference.
ForceWerks designs and builds custom tooling, fixtures, workholding, and manufacturing aids that make parts easier to produce, repeat, inspect, and assemble.
Workholding
Custom Workholding
Designed and built specifically for your part geometry and machining requirements.
CNC Workholding
Fixtures optimized for CNC operations — maximizing access, rigidity, and repeatability.
Specialized Fixturing
Solutions for parts that are difficult to hold with standard workholding.
Production Workholding
Durable fixtures designed for repeated use in production environments.
Complex or Difficult-to-Hold Parts
Custom solutions for irregular geometry, thin walls, or challenging materials.
Jigs & Fixtures
Machining Fixtures
Fixtures that locate and secure parts accurately for machining operations.
Assembly Fixtures
Fixtures that hold components in position during assembly for consistency and accuracy.
Inspection Fixtures
Fixtures that position parts repeatably for dimensional inspection.
Welding Fixtures
Fixtures that hold components in position during welding to control distortion and maintain geometry.
Production Fixtures
Robust fixtures designed for high-cycle production use.
Custom Tooling
Manufacturing Tooling
Specialized tooling designed to support specific manufacturing operations.
Assembly Tooling
Tools that make assembly operations faster, more consistent, and less operator-dependent.
Specialized Tools
One-off and custom tools for applications where standard tooling is not adequate.
Production Aids
Devices and aids that improve efficiency, consistency, and quality in production.
Why it matters
Better workholding. Better manufacturing.
Reduced Setup Time
Good workholding eliminates time spent locating and re-locating parts between operations.
Improved Repeatability
Consistent part location means consistent results — critical for production and quality control.
Better Part Access
Fixtures designed for the operation give better tool access and reduce the number of setups required.
Improved Accuracy
Rigid, well-designed workholding reduces movement and vibration that compromise dimensional accuracy.
Reduced Operator Dependency
Good fixtures make the process less dependent on individual skill and judgment.
Increased Production Efficiency
Faster setups, fewer errors, and better consistency add up to meaningful efficiency gains.
