West Cobb Engineering And Tool Inc. is a primary industrial resource for the large scale, complex assembly fixtures and jigs used by aircraft manufacturers. We operate modern, well-maintained facility with the resources, efficiency, and flexibility to respond to the growing technology demands and fast pace of the aerospace market.

We recently built the cockpit floor assembly jig shown here. It featured overall dimensions of 14' in length, 9.5' in width, and 11' in height, and weighed approximately 5000 lbs. Our strategic investment in rigidly designed and constructed 5-axis machining equipment permitted us to efficiently manufacture the many tight tolerance steel and aluminum component parts of this fixture. For a large, heavy structure such as this, mobility was key for the metrology system, and having an advanced technology laser tracking system to generate high resolution measurement data enabled us to accurately align and set all the details in place.

Unsurpassed in terms of quality, operation, compliance, and safety, this tooling is a critical component in assuring the smooth operation of the aircraft production line. Its accuracy, stability, ease of use, and economy of construction are a valued asset to the client.

Contact us today to learn more about our quality solutions for aerospace assembly jigs and fixtures.
