Tooling & fixtures
Purpose-built aids, press tooling, and fixtures for repeatable work or a defined production need.
Industrial manufacturing
When the standard part, tool, or process is not enough
Manufacturers, OEMs, maintenance teams, and industrial contractors bring Barnes machined parts, fixtures, prototypes, fabricated assemblies, equipment modifications, and small-batch work.
Bring the drawing, sample, assembly, process problem, or required result.
Who we support
Production teams building custom work beyond standard supply
Custom components, tools, fixtures, repairs, and prototypes can move through the same shop.
- Manufacturers
- OEMs
- Production facilities
- Maintenance teams
- Equipment companies
- Industrial contractors
Capabilities for this market

View capabilities Problems we help solve
Custom work starts where standard supply stops
A production problem may need a machined part, a fixture, a different material, rapid tooling, or a combined shop sequence. The tool matters less than the result.
- Custom tooling and fixtures
- Obsolete or hard-to-source components
- Fit-up problems inside an existing assembly
- Prototype and small-batch work
- Fabricated assemblies crossing several processes
- Equipment modifications and repair components

Shop work in this market
Applications
Parts, tooling, fixtures, and fabricated assemblies
The shop can move between conventional processes and newer tools when the job calls for it.
Machined components
Parts developed from drawings, models, samples, or existing assemblies when sourcing is difficult.
Fabricated assemblies
Cutting, forming, rolling, machining, welding, and finishing coordinated around one build.
Prototype & low volume
Physical prototypes and small batches that help test a direction before larger commitments are made.
Manufacturing flexibility
Use the tool that fits the problem
The printed press die formed a small batch without committing to long-life tooling. The process matched the tool to the required result.
