NTP Technology provides custom Jig & Fixture design and fabrication services, helping businesses improve precision, increase productivity and maintain consistent quality throughout the production process.
Jig & Fixture – Essential Tools for Modern Manufacturing
In industrial manufacturing, precision depends not only on machinery but also on how components are positioned and secured throughout machining, assembly or inspection processes.
Jigs & Fixtures help ensure that each component is positioned correctly, reducing errors, improving consistency and increasing production efficiency.
At NTP Technology, we provide custom Jig & Fixture design and fabrication services, tailored to each customer’s production process and intended application.
What are Jigs & Fixtures?
Jigs and Fixtures are both types of workholding devices used in manufacturing, but they serve different purposes:
Jig
A Jig is designed to locate the workpiece and guide the cutting tool, and is commonly used for operations such as drilling, tapping and reaming.
Fixture
A Fixture is designed to locate and secure the workpiece during machining, assembly or inspection, but does not guide the cutting tool.
The choice between a Jig and a Fixture depends on the product characteristics, production process and technical requirements.
Services at NTP Technology
We provide a wide range of Jigs & Fixtures to meet different manufacturing requirements.
Machining Fixtures
Designed to locate and secure workpieces during milling, turning, drilling and other machining operations.
Assembly Fixtures
Help ensure components are assembled in the correct position, reducing handling time and improving assembly consistency.
Inspection Fixtures
Used to check product dimensions, positions or assembly fit according to technical requirements.
Welding Fixtures
Secure and stabilise workpieces during welding, helping to minimise deformation and improve consistency between products.
Benefits of Using Jigs & Fixtures
Investing in suitable Jigs & Fixtures can provide businesses with a range of benefits:
– Improved product accuracy.
– Reduced setup and fixturing time.
– Reduced reliance on manual operations.
– Increased production efficiency.
– Greater consistency between production batches.
– More effective quality control.
For repeat production or high-volume orders, Jigs & Fixtures can help optimise costs over the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions
I do not have a Jig or Fixture drawing. Can NTP Technology provide support?
Yes. We can discuss your production process and intended application with you to develop a suitable solution.
Can you manufacture Jigs & Fixtures based on an actual sample?
Yes. In many cases, we can assess an existing sample or component assembly and recommend a suitable solution.
Can you improve or modify an existing Jig or Fixture?
Yes. If an existing Jig or Fixture does not meet requirements for productivity or stability, we can work with you to assess the current solution and propose improvements.
