Custom Fixtures

One of Baughn Engineering's greatest assets is finding solutions to challenging test requirements. Nearly every fixture requires a degree of custom design, but in many cases the test requirements are so unique the fixtures must be approached from a completely new perspective.

Baughn Engineering has over 40 years of experience with finding the perfect solution to the customer's test requirements. Whether it is designing a fixture to accommodate a test article with many awkward interface locations or mounting ultra-small electronic components we have the experience necessary to create the proper fixture.

Sometimes a vibration test will require the Unit Under Test (UUT) to be fully functional during vibration and often this means relative motion within our fixture. We have successfully developed multiple methods of restraining components while allowing controlled motion.

Another common scenario is when the UUT must be mounted in a position to simulate the 'real world use' configuration. This often creates mounting design challenges which our engineers approach enthusiastically. Baughn Engineering has designed custom vibration fixtures to accommodate special needs such as relative motion, hydraulic and pneumatic lines, high frequency testing, low frequency testing, delicate and/or complex interface locations, modular requirements, extremely high mass and extremely low mass UUT, vibration isolation, heat and cold isolation, clean room requirements and countless others.

In addition Baughn Engineering does not only specialize in vibration test fixtures, we are experienced in all facets of the environmental test industry. We can provide static load fixtures, drop and shock fixtures, stress and fatigue fixtures, gyroscopic centrifuge fixtures, thermal test fixtures, cyclic test fixtures and fixtures for nearly every other type of test in the industry.

Our engineers work directly with our customers to ensure they are satisfied with the design. Baughn Engineering can also manufacture custom fixtures based on customer provided drawings.
