Custom Tooling Solutions for Every PCB Assembly Challenge
Every manufacturing process presents unique challenges. Pentagon EMS develops custom production fixtures that optimize accuracy, repeatability, and process efficiency across every stage of PCB assembly. From inspection and testing to dispensing, soldering, cleaning, and final assembly, our engineered solutions reduce manual handling, protect critical assemblies, increase throughput, and ensure consistent production performance from prototype through high-volume manufacturing.
Fast, Accurate Lead Trimming
Custom trim plates provide a stable, repeatable platform for trimming component leads quickly and accurately. Designed to reduce manual effort while improving consistency, they help streamline secondary operations and increase production efficiency.

Precise component placement is essential to product performance, especially for assemblies that must align with other devices or parts later in the manufacturing process. StenTech designs fixtures that ensure components are positioned and aligned to exact designer specifications, reducing the risk of misalignment and costly rework.
Our specialized hold-down canopies address one of the most common causes of rework — unseated components on complex assemblies. Engineered for durability and ease of use, these canopies mechanically secure light or unstable components during soldering, maintaining alignment throughout the process.
Available in a wide range of designs and custom configurations, our solutions combine accurate positioning with mechanical stability to deliver consistent, high-quality results every time.
We provide practical solutions for maintaining PCB integrity and streamlining manual assembly processes. For large or heavy assemblies prone to sagging during processing, our custom snap-on edge stiffeners maintain board rigidity, prevent distortion, and protect components located near the board edge. Each stiffener is built to match specific board thicknesses, ensuring a secure fit without interfering with surrounding components.
Our bench top assembly fixtures free up skilled operators by holding components and assemblies securely during hands-on tasks. We design custom solutions for specialized processes such as thermal transfer tooling, lock tab forming, flex circuit wrapping, and screw guides, ideal for applications where standard tooling isn’t sufficient. By combining stability with tailored functionality, these solutions improve operator efficiency, enhance process accuracy, and protect assemblies throughout production.
When your assembly needs go beyond standard tooling, StenTech delivers custom-engineered solutions designed for your exact process. Our “Funky Fixtures†(Specialty Fixtures) are built to solve unique manufacturing challenges — whether that means precision alignment for unconventional board shapes, specialized clamping for delicate components, or thermal masking to protect sensitive areas during soldering and reflow.
We combine advanced machining, creative problem-solving, and in-depth process knowledge to design fixtures that integrate seamlessly into your workflow. No matter how complex or unusual the requirement, we can create a fixture that enhances efficiency, protects quality, and meets the exact demands of your production environment. If your process demands it, we can build it.
