Checking fixtures and jigs are part of Hailong’s core product range, alongside automotive stamping dies. Our technology center designs inspection tools and fixtures for stamped sheet metal parts, so the die and the fixture that checks its parts can come from the same team.
What we supply
- Checking fixtures for automobile body panels and sheet metal parts
- Jigs and fixtures for machining and assembly
- Fixtures designed together with our stamping dies
How we build them
Fixtures are designed from your part data, machined on the same CNC equipment we use for die components, and verified before delivery. Our measuring equipment includes a large laser three-coordinate measuring machine and 3D scanning with direct comparison against the CAD model.
Why buy dies and fixtures from one supplier
- One set of part data and datums for the die and the fixture
- Fixtures ready for die tryout and part approval
- One contact for the whole project, from quotation to delivery

How a fixture project runs
- Quotation and contract: our engineers review your part data and confirm open questions before quoting.
- Quality management plan: each project gets a plan covering design, process programming, machining and assembly, and testing.
- Design and programming: the technology center designs the tool and prepares CNC programs.
- Machining and assembly: components are machined in house, then fitted and assembled.
- Test and delivery: the tool is tested and measured, and results are shared before it ships.
Machining equipment for fixture parts

FAQ
Can you build a fixture for parts made with another supplier’s die?
Send us the part data and your inspection requirements, and our engineers will review the project.
What do you need for a quotation?
3D data of the part with datum and measuring points, the features to check and the number of fixtures. See the RFQ guide.
Do you also make the stamping die?
Yes. Cold stamping dies for automobile body panels and sheet metal parts are our main product. See vehicle moulds and stamping dies.
