Take advantage of our extensive experience in implementing complex automation solutions to advance your new manufacturing concept into stable production reality.
AUTOMATION
The APTUS DesignWorks team has many years of experience in a wide range of industrial machinery design projects. From planning and costing to debug and startup, we will take responsibility for any aspect of the project and work independently or with your in-house staff to bring your equipment into stable production.
Our experience ranges from high-volume production equipment such as automated work-holding fixtures and large hydraulic die casting machinery, to ergonomic workstations and hand assembly fixtures. We have extensive experience designing and interfacing with complex electronic controls and robotic devices. Our customers call on us when they have a challenging automation requirement such as complex compound motions, extreme geometry constraints, difficult sensing and measurement, or non-dimensional (flexible) material handling.
We provide turn-key equipment that is fully tested and ready to run using one of our established partner companies. We will also be happy to integrate with your preferred machine builder or in-house technicians for machine assembly and runoff. APTUS can handle overall project management and ensure your automation needs are met – on schedule and on budget.
Our documentation accuracy and consistency is second to none, and is completed according to client’s internal standards when applicable.
Take care with your product and people. On schedule and on budget.

Tools & Fixture Development
The APTUS DesignWorks team has many years experience in a wide range of fixture and tool development projects for some of the most demanding manufacturers in the world. From project planning through validation, we take responsibility for any aspect of the project and will work independently or with your in-house engineering staff to deliver the tools and equipment your product requires.
We treat your product and your people with the care and attention-to-detail that only years of design experience can bring. With careful consideration of product quality and human ergonomics, we develop fixture solutions that deliver the right blend of proven characteristics needed for truly stable production. And we will supply your tool on schedule and on budget.
APTUS can reverse-engineer almost any existing workpiece or tooling using the precise measurement equipment in our in-house measurement lab, including laser-scanning and a 6-axis Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). We also travel to customer locations to provide onsite CMM measurement of existing equipment when needed.
