Obsnap’s Fixture & Design Services provide custom-designed solutions to securely hold and support products, ensuring precise, repeatable, and safe testing for unique applications.
Hold, align, and support
Fixture & Design Overview
At Obsnap Instruments, we understand that precision testing and measurement require more than just the right instruments they also demand the right fixtures and tailored designs to ensure accurate, repeatable, and safe results. That’s why our Fixture & Design Services are built to bridge the gap between standard equipment and your unique application needs.
Whether you’re testing irregular-shaped parts, inspecting delicate materials, or automating multi-part workflows, we custom-design solutions that hold, align, and support your products for maximum consistency and usability.
What Are Fixture & Design Services?
Fixtures are customized mechanical devices used to hold, support, or position workpieces during testing, inspection, or manufacturing processes. Our design team works directly with you to develop:
Custom Fixtures
Custom fixtures for tensile, compression, hardness, or impact testing
Mounting Jigs
Mounting jigs for non-destructive testing (NDT) or 3D scanning
Positioning Tools
Positioning tools for robotic or automated inspection
Modular Test Setups
Modular test setups for R&D and QA labs
