The most expensive tool in your welding bay isn't the welder. It’s the Jig.
Building custom welding fixtures to hold tubes in place while you tack them is a massive sunk cost. It takes time to build, takes up floor space, and if the design changes, the jig is scrap.
The Self-Fixturing Revolution With a 5-Axis BLM Tube Laser, we don't just cut straight lines. We cut geometry.
This allows us to use "Slot and Tab" design principles (Poka-Yoke):
1. The Tab: We cut a small tab on the end of Tube A.
2. The Slot: We cut a matching slot into the side of Tube B.
3. The Click: The two tubes click together like Lego.
Why This Matters
- Zero Fixtures: The steel holds itself square. You don't need a jig.
- Impossible to Fail: The tab only fits one way. Your welder cannot assemble the frame backwards or upside down.
- Speed: Fit-up time is reduced from minutes to seconds.
The Offer If you manufacture frames, trailers, or structural supports, bring us your design. We can help you re-engineer your joints to be self-fixturing. You stop paying for jigs; you start paying for finished product.
