Custom Automotive Test Fixtures & Assembly Jigs
MetalKeen designs and manufactures custom automotive test fixtures and assembly jigs that improve production efficiency, assembly accuracy, and quality consistency throughout the manufacturing process.
Our engineering team develops fixtures according to customer drawings, CAD models, testing requirements, and production workflows. From precision-machined locating components to welded steel frames and complete mechanical assemblies, every fixture is built to provide repeatable positioning, accurate measurement, and reliable long-term performance.
Whether used for component assembly, dimensional inspection, leak testing, torque verification, or functional testing, our custom tooling helps manufacturers reduce setup time, improve product quality, and support lean manufacturing.
MetalKeen provides complete OEM manufacturing services including fixture design optimization, CNC machining, steel fabrication, welding, surface treatment, assembly, inspection, and trial testing before shipment.
What Is an Automotive Test Fixture?
An automotive test fixture is a custom-engineered device used to accurately position, support, inspect, or test automotive components during manufacturing. Test fixtures ensure repeatable measurements, consistent assembly quality, and efficient production by eliminating positioning errors and reducing operator variability.
Assembly jigs and inspection fixtures are widely used throughout automotive manufacturing, from prototype development to mass production and end-of-line quality control.
