Our process

Specifications & requirements

Our custom workholding solutions begin with an analysis of your issue in the context of your overall process and goals. The first step in our process involves collecting your existing specs and drawings and/or building a list of new requirements.

---

Solution concept & quote

Using our findings and what you tell us about your workflow, budget, and deadlines, we create a baseline solution concept that helps us give you a preliminary quote. At this stage, we set the scope and start thinking of unique ways to deliver your project.

---

Design & customization

After you accept the quote, the real design work begins. Our engineers study every angle to create completely custom workholding for your application. Using advanced technology and the latest techniques, we create solutions for the most complex applications.

---

Prototype & testing

Our technology tools enable rapid prototyping, so we can quickly test how your solution will perform—saving time and budget. Each chuck or fixture is also field-tested at your location and modified for greater repeatability and precision.

Improve & deploy

At Stace-Allen, we don’t just get the job done. We get the job done right. If our first solution isn’t perfect, we retool in the field for iterative improvements that yield better results over time. Once we deploy your custom workholding solution, we’re always available for troubleshooting and improvements.
