CBS Tool in Shelby Township, MI designs and builds check fixtures, gauges, and custom tooling that help manufacturers improve accuracy, consistency, and quality on every part.
Since our founding, CBS Tool has supported automotive and manufacturing customers with precision fixtures and tooling that meet demanding production and inspection requirements.
We design and build checking fixtures, gauges/gages, and custom tooling to improve quality, repeatability, and throughput. Our team integrates CAD/CAM and NX Unigraphic design with hands-on build expertise.
Engineered for repeatability and performance
Design & build of automotive checking fixtures, gauges/gages, jigs, weld and sheet metal fixtures, SPC/attribute fixtures, and metrology solutions.
Attribute & assembly checking fixtures for stamped, plastic, and machined parts — designed and built to GD&T or simulated mating part data.
Learn About Check FixturesFixturing for coordinate measuring (CMM) validation to maintain part repeatability and reproducibility (R&R) for measurement consistency.
Learn About CMM Check FixturesPrototype or production-ready weld and sheet metal fixtures built for durability, accessibility, and repeatable clamping.
Learn About Sheet Metal FixturesCustom jigs, part nests, special machines, and assembly workstations tailored to your process and cycle-time goals.
Learn About Custom ToolingCustom gaging and inspection fixtures for difficult and soft parts that are hard to measure.
Learn About Measurement FixturesStatistical process control (SPC) and attribute fixtures to monitor variation and maintain tolerances.
Learn About SPC & Attribute Fixtures3D fixture design, CAD/CAM fixture design, models & part nests, and full design-and-build checking fixtures from concept through inspection documentation.
Metrology fixtures and quality control solutions aligned with inspection plans, CMM strategies, and PPAP requirements.
CBS Tool designs and builds precision automotive check fixtures, gages/gauges, and custom tooling that improve quality, repeatability, and throughput. From CAD/CAM and NX Unigraphic design through build and inspection, our fixtures support CMM and SPC workflows to keep production running smoothly.
We specialize in design-and-build checking fixtures, weld and sheet-metal fixtures, holding fixtures, jigs, and metrology fixtures for OEM and Tier-1 suppliers. Our team blends real-world manufacturing experience with rigorous engineering so your tooling installs cleanly, validates quickly, and performs reliably on the line.
Accurate 3D fixture models created in NX Unigraphic and CAD/CAM ensure clean manufacturing data, proper datum strategy, and seamless integration with CMM programs and inspection plans.
Fixtures, gages, and nests are built to tight tolerances with robust clamping and repeatable locators—validated for SPC, first-piece approval, and ongoing quality control requirements.
From assembly checking fixtures to weld and sheet-metal fixtures, we tailor tooling to your process, cycle time, and ergonomics—reducing rework and speeding validation.
Proven project control, clear documentation, and responsive support deliver fixtures that install quickly, perform reliably, and help your team hit PPAP, capacity, and quality targets.
From complex automotive check fixtures to precision CMM tooling and weld assemblies, every project we take on reflects CBS Tool’s commitment to accuracy, repeatability, and craftsmanship. These examples highlight our core capabilities across fixture design, build, and metrology solutions for automotive and other manufacturing applications.
Attribute & assembly checking fixture for molded trim; datum strategy and clamps engineered for repeatability and fast inspection.
Rigid fixturing for coordinate measuring; locators and supports ensure stable probing paths and consistent results across runs.
Production-ready weld fixture with robust clamping, serviceable wear points, and access designed for operator ergonomics.
Operator-focused workstation integrating quick-change nests and poka-yoke features to improve throughput and quality.
Shop-floor attribute gage providing fast go/no-go checks and traceable results for process control.
Fixture and data collection flow supporting capability studies, first-piece approval, and ongoing statistical monitoring.
From concept to calibration, CBS Tool partners with manufacturers to design and build fixtures, gauges, and custom tooling that improve accuracy, efficiency, and repeatability. Whether you need a single attribute gage or a complete checking fixture program, our team brings decades of engineering experience and hands-on craftsmanship to every project.
