PRODUCTION FIXTURES AND GAUGES
At Shea+Latone we feel our job isn’t done until a design is in mass production. Transitioning a design into mass production requires an in-depth understanding of the product and the most efficient assembly methods for your factory.
Shea+Latone’s in-house fabrication shop utilizes a four-phase process to design and develop custom assembly fixtures, gauges and testing equipment to make this production transition as smooth as possible. We can utilize our in-depth knowledge of the product to specify and design custom equipment that will aid in manufacturing as early as Phase 3 in our Product Design and Development process. We can offer the design, development, fabrication, and validation of these production aids as a standalone service for any product as well.
Our fabricators are not only fine craftsmen, but they also have extensive experience building field technician tools, check gauges, quality control tools and automated equipment for product assembly and testing.
Please contact us about your next fixture, gauge, or custom test station need.
