    Jigs and fixtures are work holding devices that provide support, location, and guidance during machining operations. Jigs guide cutting tools while fixtures hold workpieces in position. They reduce setup time and ensure accuracy and consistency in mass production. Key components include a rigid body, locating pins to position the workpiece, clamping elements to secure it, and bushes to guide tools for jigs. Examples provided include drilling jigs, milling fixtures using vises and clamps, and a 5-axis milling fixture for improved tool clearance.

    Chapter 6: Jigs and Fixtures

    Design
    6.1 Introduction

     Work holding Devices are call Jigs and


    Fixtures
     Provide supports, holds, locates a work-piece
    and also guides the cutting tool in machining
    operations
     Difference between Jigs & Fixture
    JIG: Guide the tool
    FIXTURE: Hold work piece in position
    Jigs and Fixtures

    A jig guides the cutting tool, in this case


    with a bushing.

    Milling fixtures (vise)


    Applications
    Advantages of Jigs & Fixtures

     reduces or eliminates the efforts of marking,


    measuring and setting of parts on a machine
     assure the high accuracy of the parts
     variability of dimension in mass production is
    very low
     reduces the production cycle time so increases
    production capacity
     less skilled labor
     Improve the safety at work
    Components of Jigs & Fixtures

    1. Rigid body (plane or box type)


    2. Locating elements (pins)
    3. Clamping elements (clamping screw)
    4. Tool guiding elements for jigs (bushes)
    Box type jig
    Locating Pins
    Locating Pins
    Clamping

    Screw clamp
    Vertical clamp Bench vise

    To apply pressure and press it against the


    locating components
    Tool Guide (Bushing)
    Locating & Clamping

    Objective when mounting a part in fixture for


    machining:
     Accurate position

     Restrict all 6 degrees of freedom so that the


    part cannot move

    METHOD USED: 3-2-1 principle


    Example : Drilling Jig

     Use to drill holes


     To obtain positional accuracy of the hole,
    hardened jig bushes are used to locate & guide
    the tool
    Example : Drilling Jig
    Example: Milling Fixture

    A pair of milling vises sit side by side on a


    machine table
    Example: Milling Fixture

    Soft jaws to locate and hold a larger round


    part.
    Example: Milling Fixture

    Step Clamp holding


    down plate, step block Step Clamp Set
    supporting end of
    clamp, and bolt goes
    through T-Slot
    Example: 5 axis Milling Fixture

    Provide better clearance for tool movement
