Performance. Precision. Dependability. Efficiency. Accuracy.

ITI applies 50 years of workholding experience differentiating ITI fixture design from our competitors. The design is driven by machining process and part dimensioning tolerances that are key to fixture design as well as part locating, clamping and chip management. Our robust fixtures are designed as a requirement to ensure holding the part securely in order to properly machine the part. ITI utilizes the latest technology for clamping the part. Chip management is always given consideration in the process. When we make the commitment to building your workholding fixture, we design in exemplary performance and dependable long life, assuring efficiency and low maintenance cost. ITI workholding fixtures are second to none.
