You have a part. We build the solution that makes it.
ENQUIPA is a contract engineering and automation practice in Upstate South Carolina. We design, build, install and support custom production machines, poka-yoke fixtures, test stands, gages and robotic cells.
What we do
FIVE SERVICE LINES
01
Mechanical design and engineering
Complete mechanical design from requirement to released drawings — modeled in SolidWorks, dimensioned to GD&T, checked for tolerance stack-up and designed to be made, not just drawn. Custom machine framing in aluminum extrusion, steel tubing and weldments, fabricated through established machining and fabrication partners.
Machine design and engineering- SolidWorks 3D machine and component design
- GD&T, tolerance stack-up, DFM and DFA review
- Custom machine framing: aluminum extrusion, steel tubing, weldments
- Sheet metal, guarding, enclosures and machine bases
- Released drawing packages a shop can quote from
02
Custom equipment, test stands, poka-yoke fixtures and tooling
Purpose-built equipment for one part and one process. Assembly and verification stations that make a missed step impossible, leak and functional test stands, presses and crimping machines, adhesive dispensing cells, gages, inspection fixtures and material handling — designed, built, installed and run off on your floor.
Custom equipment and fixtures- Poka-yoke assembly and verification stations
- Leak, pressure and functional test stands
- Presses, crimping and swaging machines
- Go/no-go gages, CMM and vision fixtures
- Material handling: work carts, conveyors, transfer and lift assists
- Machine rebuild and safety retrofit
03
Robotics automation — design, integration, programming and service
Robotic cells from feasibility through commissioning, including the parts most integrators subcontract: reach and cycle-time studies, custom end-of-arm tooling, offline programming, safety integration and operator training. Robotic surface finishing — grinding, sanding, polishing and deburring — plus robotic 3D scanning, laser welding and laser ablation.
Robotics and integration- ABB, FANUC, KUKA and Universal Robots
- Robotic grinding, sanding, polishing and deburring
- Robotic 3D scanning, laser welding and laser ablation
- Cell layout, reach and cycle-time simulation
- Offline programming, field teaching, commissioning
- Custom EOAT design and build
- Light curtains, guarding, PLC and HMI integration
04
Reverse engineering, 3D scanning, 3D printing and prototyping
When a part is obsolete, undocumented or worn out, the physical part becomes the drawing. Scanned or measured directly, modeled parametrically, dimensioned to a manufacturable drawing and verified against the original before anything is cut.
Reverse engineering and scanning- 3D scanning and mesh-to-CAD parametric modeling
- Legacy tooling, dies, fixtures and discontinued components
- Injection mold cavity and core design
- In-house 3D printing for form-and-fit prototypes
- CNC machining and industrial additive through partners
05
Project engineering, startup consulting, DFM and NPI
Engineering capacity without a hire. For established manufacturers that means owning a project end to end; for early-stage ventures it means turning a concept into something that can actually be produced at volume.
Project engineering and NPI- Project engineering and vendor management
- Design for manufacturability review
- Functional prototyping and component sourcing
- Production roadmaps and scale-up planning
