The main purpose of manufacturers using the automotive inspection fixture is to test the size and accuracy of components, ensuring that they meet the requirements and have reliability in the final use process.
Advantages of Fixture Testing：
- Comprehensive Testing
- Product Performance Analysis
- Reduced Field Failures and Warranty Claims
- Streamlined Production Process
- Repeatability and Consistency

The advantage of automotive fixture testing is that it can improve the accuracy, efficiency, and high quality of processed products. This type of checking fixture performs differently in different scenarios. A fixture testing is a measuring and checking fixture manufacturer designed and manufactured to meet the processing and inspection needs of specific workpieces.
Design of the Universal Testing Fixture
Automotive manufacturers should pay attention to the accuracy, effectiveness, and compliance with standardized testing requirements when designing universal fixtures.
- Validity
At present, most of the commonly used universal gauges are widely used in the manufacturing industry. After repeated testing and practice, manufacturers have improved the fixture and produced more accurate and reliable ones, such as valuable gauges, dimensional gauges, etc.
- The parts meet the standardization requirements
Manufacturers should strive to meet standardization requirements for the manufacturing components used in the design of General Motors gauges unless there are special design requirements.
- Keep progressiveness
The current testing methods of General Motors gauges are constantly being updated and iterated. The commonly used comparative measurement and gauge gauges by manufacturers can now achieve higher operational efficiency with simpler structures. The values are correct, and the numerical errors of the components are within the specified range.
- High usability
For general fixture testing, the same gauge can be used to test the same item on different parts. This gives the measuring tool high flexibility and usability, reducing manufacturing costs.
Types of the Testing Fixture
There are various types of testing fixture, which can be classified into:
- Classification based on flexibility:
The automotive testing fixture can be classified into traditional gauges and flexible gauges based on their degree of flexibility. Flexible gauges can be divided into first-generation (G1) flexible gauges, second-generation (G2), and third-generation (G3). G1 belongs to modular combination fixtures and can be reused repeatedly; G2 has added three automatic probes to traditional gauges, which can improve measurement errors; G3 is equipped with side heads on adjustable fixtures, combining the characteristics of G1 and G2, with a high degree of automation and adaptability.
- Classification based on characteristics:
The automotive testing fixture is mainly classified according to their characteristics, including gas-electric gauges, gauge gauges, and electronic gauges.
- Classified by function:
According to the functions of the automotive testing fixture, they can be classified into single-piece gauges, sub-assembly/assembly gauges, comprehensive measurement matching racks, opening gauges, functional main model gauges, white body gauges, screw car gauges, etc.
- According to material classification:
The materials for the automotive testing fixture can be common materials such as aluminum, resin, and steel. Manufacturers can also use materials such as fiberglass, wood, carbon fiber, honeycomb panels, etc. to make gauges. The material selection of gauges is relatively flexible, and the manufacturing methods are diverse.
Maintenance of the Testing Fixture
The appropriate maintenance of the testing fixture by the manufacturer determines its service life and durability. Maintenance is divided into daily maintenance and regular maintenance, mainly including:
- Daily maintenance measures
Manufacturers should clean the testing fixtures of the car promptly before or after each use. Technicians need to carefully check key parameters such as the validity period, identification, coordinate values, and measurement points of the gauges. In addition, key components such as positioning pins, simulation blocks, and detection pins of the inspection tool also need to be carefully inspected. Basic maintenance of automotive inspection tools, ensuring the external cleanliness of the inspection tool simulation block, and paying attention to keeping some pins, inspection pins, bottom plates, and other positions clean; Place the moving parts that need to be disassembled in the corresponding positions.
The specific daily maintenance measures mainly include: the manufacturer needs to visually inspect the entire car inspection tool and wear gloves when cleaning the tool; Clean the simulation block, fixture panel, and reference hole of dust and dirt, and keep the surface clean; Check whether the use date of the inspection tool is within its expiration date, and whether the identification of the inspection tool is complete, accurate, and clear; Check whether the detection pin, positioning pin, and stop and go gauge of the inspection tool are complete and intact. Can the measured value of the reference hole of the measuring tool be represented, and can the identification of the measuring points be clear and complete; There are unqualified or defective projects that need to be reported to the company promptly for replacement or repair. Check if the clamping mechanism of the inspection tool can clamp properly and if the flipping mechanism can operate normally.
- Regular maintenance methods
Manufacturers need to regularly inspect the main body or various components of car gauges for wear and tear; Add rust-proof oil to the positioning column, detection pin, positioning groove, positioning hole, positioning pinpoint, and other components of the inspection tool; Check for loose screws and add lubricating oil to the connecting mechanism, sliding, flipping mechanism, opening and closing mechanism, and other moving and connecting components of the simulation block to ensure their normal operation.
The standardized use and regular or routine maintenance of automotive testing tools play an important role. These correct practices not only ensure the accuracy of test results but also have the advantage of increasing the machine’s usage time. Therefore, it is necessary for operators to proficiently master the standardized use and regular or routine maintenance of automotive inspection equipment.
The design of the automotive testing fixture is considered from many aspects, including manufacturing processes, quality management, assembly requirements, and more. The design of gauges is an important component of the automotive industry. Automotive inspection tools have become essential tools in the automotive manufacturing process. The use of automotive inspection tools in the manufacturing industry has many advantages, including improving the efficiency and quality management level of automotive production and manufacturing and effectively controlling the processing and assembly quality of automotive parts, which is of great help to the automotive industry and enhances its international competitiveness.
