Efficient and Seamless Jig & Fixture Design Solutions
Body in White (BIW) refers to the stage of production where sheet metal components of the vehicle are welded together in the automotive manufacturing process. To join the vehicle's main structure together, typically through robotic welding, laser brazing, MIG welding, MAG welding, spot welding, and riveting, where jigs and fixtures are likely required to ensure all components are aligned appropriately. Once the body in white manufacturing process is complete, it can then be painted and major components like the engine, chassis, and trim can be installed.

PMC is a leading provider of robotics simulation solutions for the automotive industry. Our services are designed to optimize the BIW process, helping manufacturers, OEMs, and suppliers reduce cycle times and increase production efficiency. Our comprehensive software solutions include robot path planning, motion analysis, collision detection, and error handling, all designed to be user-friendly and easily integrated with existing systems.
Robotics simulation optimizes jigs and fixtures used in Body in White automotive manufacturing by enabling engineers to test and refine designs before physical construction. This reduces costs and improves efficiency by identifying potential issues early on. Simulation also allows for the analysis of structural integrity, leading to more effective and innovative solutions.
Fixture Design Process
01. Requirement Gathering
Preliminary discussions with the clients team to understand the nature of their requirements to ensure that our jig and fixture designs suit their needs.
02. Drafting
We ensure all specifications are met and followed while creating jig and fixtures designs and drafts, allowing for efficient draft reviews.
03. 3D Visualization
Using the completed 2D drafts, 3D visualization is created and reviewed with the client. This allows for detailed views of different mechanical parts and how the system will function.
04. QC Testing
Our in-depth qualitative analysis of the fixture design ensures all requirements are systematically verified before delivery. We can also provide cost estimates, fabrication details, and the bill of materials.
05. Delivery
Once we have verified the execution of the design, the deliverables are provided using our secure FTP servers.
