We Built This Because We Kept Seeing the Same Problem
Shop after shop running one or two parts at a time. Operators babysitting machines. Hours lost reclamping between jobs. Orders always behind. There had to be a better way.
Sound Familiar?
Setup takes 4 to 5 hours and your operators spend half the day reconfiguring clamps just to run the next job.
You're running one part per cycle because your vise can't hold more. The machine sits idle while your operator reloads.
Every setup depends on one experienced operator. New hires take months to get up to speed and tribal knowledge walks out the door.
What FixtureFlex Changes
More Parts Per Cycle
Run 3 or more parts start to finish in a single cycle, regardless of part size.
Repeatability to 0.01mm
Fixture repeatability as tight as 0.01mm. Load a part and trust the setup every time.
Setup in 30 Minutes
What used to take 4 to 5 hours now takes roughly 30 minutes across the floor.
Faster Changeover
Standardized workholding and standardized work offsets mean faster job transitions with fewer mistakes.
Easier Operator Training
New employees get up to speed faster. The system does the heavy lifting, not tribal knowledge.
Time Back for Improvements
Less stress. Less babysitting. More time to work on the shop instead of just in it.
One Shop. Six Machines. Transformed.
A job shop running six milling machines implemented FixtureFlex across their entire floor. They run between 4 and 10 setups per week.
Before: Setup times of 4 to 5 hours per machine. Running one part start to finish per cycle at best.
After: Setup times down to roughly 30 minutes. Running 3 or more parts per cycle depending on part size, with shorter cycle times per part as well.
The result was not just more output. It was a calmer, more predictable shop floor with time left over to actually improve the business.
From First Contact to Running Parts
We Review Your Current Setup
We look at your existing workholding and talk through where you're losing time and efficiency.
We Design It for Your Machine
If you purchase a baseplate design, we engineer it specifically for your machine dimensions and your requirements.
We Walk Through It Together
We go over the design with you, explain how to use the system correctly, and make any final adjustments before delivery.
You Receive Everything You Need
We deliver: 3D CAD files, a full bill of materials, PDF assembly and usage instructions, machining instructions for the baseplate and fixtures, and 2D drawings with tolerances.
Why Not Just Buy Off the Shelf?
Brands like Chick, Lang, Jergens and Schunk make great products. But they come with a fixed design you adapt your shop to.
FixtureFlex works the other way. Because we only deliver the 3D files and documentation, the cost is significantly lower. More importantly, we design the system around your machine and your workflow, not a standardized catalog base plate.
You are not locked into anything. If you want changes before machining, we make them. If you find improvements after running it for a while, we can update the design. You are the machinist. The system works for you.
