Jigs and fixtures are two types of tool that serve different functions within the production process. It is in fact a common misconception that these names both refer to the same tool.
A jig’s primary function is to guide the cutting or machining tool, whilst a fixture is used to hold the workpiece in place. Both tools work together to ensure accuracy and precision across components of the same design. Fixtures can also speed up the efficiency of production as they cut loading and unloading times, meaning that more components are able to be machined during a shorter period versus using other methods to secure the workpiece in place.
Post project to suppliers with Jigs & Fixtures capabilities
This company currently seeks price and lead time indications for the attached set of jigs. This project incorporates a range of parts, which are to be made from a variety of materials. The client has requested that suppliers specify their earliest delivery date within their quotation. There is an immediate order to place for this enquiry, making it an ideal opportunity to fill imminent capacity.
**Due to the current health climate, we ask that you only submit a quotation for this project if you are in a position to fulfil the requirement. Please also be mindful that there may be a delay in buyer response due to widespread remote working.**
This company is seeking quotes for the manufacture of a base for an equipment jig, used within the motorsport industry.
Although only 1 is required at the moment, more will be ordered once the prototype has been completed.
This metal spinning supplier is currently in need of a supplier to manufacture the attached jig base, which will be used within their in-house spinning equipment. There is an immediate order to place with delivery sought by March 4th. Although this is a one-off requirement, the client often has similar projects which will be extended to the chosen supplier once a relationship has been established.
This company specialises in temperature calibration and has an order to place for the attached tooling which, when in use, will create cement spheres to be used within a spherical furnace. Quotes are required for 4 off of each part, to be made from plastic - for example, Nylon or PTFE - or any hard wood. Other materials will also be considered if suitable. Accuracy of the internal measurements is of the most importance within this enquiry.
This new buyer to Qimtek has an order to place for a new design of jig, to be made from Nylon. Once assembled, this jig will be used with PCBs within the electronics industry. Quotes are required for 1 off and the client has also advised that this will be a one-off requirement, making it an ideal opportunity to fill short-term capacity. Pricing, quality, accuracy and reliable delivery are all important considerations for this enquiry.
This company specialises in global bus manufacture and has an order to place for the manufacture and painting of 3 different chassis frame welding jigs, which will be used to manufacture buses for the general public. The buyer requires main welding jigs for each of the main modules (Front, Centre, Rear) and sub-assembly jigs for the welded assemblies that make up each of the modules. Advice is also sought, including any suggestions to make the jigs as efficient as possible when the client manufactures the bus chassis. Pricing, quality and reliable delivery are all key factors within this enquiry and once a relationship is established, this can also lead to future jig work in addition to this initial requirement. This makes it an unmissable opportunity for large fabrication work from a large global client.
This client, a manufacturer of eco-friendly automotives that spends £220,000 a year on outsourced tool making, currently seeks a supplier for the attached motor key adaptor plate. These are to be made from mild steel and used in the testing of electric vehicles.
Destined for end use within the telecommunications industry, this fluted tip is to be made from H13 tool steel using high precision machining and wire erosion techniques. The client, a company that spends over £100k per year across all outsourced services, has advised that the ideal supplier will be able to complete all aspects of this work in full. This will be an ongoing requirement with similar work available once a relationship is established.
This manufacturer of consumer measuring equipment currently seeks a supplier who can assist them with the manufacturing of jigs.
