If your production challenges require a specifically designed solution, D&R Machine's engineering services will ensure a project is successfully completed.

TEST FIXTURES DEVELOPMENT AT D&R MACHINE

For industries such as aerospace and manufacturing, test fixtures remain one of the most important tools for quality assurance in parts production and standards verification. Test fixture stations have become increasingly more important as standards have become prevalent and strictly adhered to as a safety precautions.

A test fixture station is a machine, typically in an enclosed space, that is designed to repeatedly perform routine tests for a part or set of products in order to test a specific property of a part or determine if a part is successfully manufactured and approved to be used or shipped out. The primary concept is that a test fixture reliability performs the same tests with minimal or no deviation to previous tests to ensure similar initial conditions between all cycles of its runtime. With a proper test fixture station, it is possible to diagnose whether or not a part is faulty or is up to par with a standard through a consistent means.

D&R Machine has direct experience with aerospace fitting test fixtures, such as our three-station aerospace fitting flexure tester. Our machines come with easy-to-use pushbutton and switch controls for individual components such as motors, standard safety measures including e-stops and door switches to operate only when the enclosure is sealed, sensors to detect parameters such as rotational speed, distance, temperature, pressure, and more. When it comes to test fixtures, D&R Machine knows what it takes to a build a machine to last and fulfill the requirements of our partners for their testing purposes.
