Datum and clamp strategy
Locate the part with the minimum necessary constraint and a sequence operators can repeat.
Weld fixture design & build
Repeatable welds start with controlled location and usable access.
Dynamics Group designs and builds weld fixtures around the actual process: datum strategy, clamp sequence, gun access, distortion, ergonomics, changeover and inspection.

Where we fit
The fixture is part of the process
A fixture can hold a perfect CAD position and still fail at the line. The design has to account for operator motion, weld access, thermal movement, maintenance and the sequence that will actually be used.
Weld and robot access
Protect torch or gun paths, service clearances and cable routing before steel is cut.
Distortion management
Use supports, sequence and inspection features around the way the assembly moves under heat.
Runoff and change control
Resolve real production issues with the team that designed and built the tool.
Proof before promise

How a quote starts
Send enough context to get a useful answer
-
01
Show the requirement
A drawing, model, marked-up photo, layout or statement of work is enough to begin.
-
02
Name the decision
Quantity, timing, critical features and acceptance requirements keep the quote focused.
-
03
Review together
We identify risk, missing data and the best process before committing your schedule.
Buyer questions
Straight answers before you send a print
Can you work from a part model without a completed fixture concept?
Yes. Provide the part models, process sequence, interfaces and output requirements; the design team can develop the tooling concept.
Do you build one-off fixtures and repeat tools?
Yes. The right approach depends on launch timing, station count, expected maintenance and whether repeat builds are likely.
Can you modify an existing fixture?
Yes. Photos, current CAD, a problem statement and sample parts are usually enough to begin an assessment.
Can machining and fabrication stay with one supplier?
Yes. Those capabilities are in the same Madison Heights facility.
Have a print, model or tooling problem?
Send what you have. We will tell you where we fit, what is missing and the fastest practical next step.
