Fixture selection refers to the process of choosing the appropriate fixtures for a specific application, such as in manufacturing or construction. Fixtures are tools or devices that hold, support, or secure workpieces during operations like machining, assembly, or inspection. The right fixture enhances efficiency, accuracy, and safety in the workflow. When selecting fixtures, factors such as the type of material, size, and shape of the workpiece must be considered. Additionally, the intended operation, like welding or drilling, influences the choice. Proper fixture selection can lead to improved productivity and reduced production costs in industries like automotive and aerospace.
