    Jigs and fixtures are production tools used to accurately manufacture duplicate parts. A jig guides cutting tools during machining operations, while a fixture securely holds and positions workpieces for machining. Both jigs and fixtures use locating elements to precisely position workpieces, clamping elements to securely hold pieces in place, and tool guiding elements to direct tools. Their use increases productivity, promotes interchangeability, reduces skill requirements, and lowers costs in manufacturing.

    Jigs and fixtures are production tools used to hold and guide workpieces accurately during machining operations. A jig holds and guides a cutting tool while a fixture holds the workpiece securely.

    The main components of jigs and fixtures are locating elements, clamping elements, and tool guiding/setting elements.

    Some advantages of using jigs and fixtures are increased productivity, interchangeability of parts, reduced skill requirements, and cost reduction.

    JIGS AND FIXTURES

    Jigs and Fixtures are Production-work holding devices used to manufacture duplicate parts accurately

    A Jig is a special device that holds the workpiece but also guides the cutting tool as the operation is performed

    A Fixture is a production tool that locates, holds, and supports the work securely so the required machining operations can be performed

    Elements of Jigs and Fixtures

    1. Locating Elements: These position the workpiece accurately with respect to the tool guiding or setting elements in the fixture. 2. Clamping Elements: These hold the workpiece securely in the located position during operation. 3. Tool Guiding and Setting Elements: These aid guiding of the tool in the correct position with respect to workpiece.

    Advantages of Jigs and Fixtures


    1. Productivity

    2. Interchangeability

    3. Skill Reduction

    4. Cost Reduction

    Jigs and Fixture Design Factor


    1. Study of the component. 2. Study of the type of the capacity of the m/c. 3. Study the locating elements. 4. Study of the clamping arrangement. 5. Study of clearance between jig and the component. 6. Study of the indexing devices. 7. Study of the fool-proofing arrangement. 8. Study of the ejecting devices. 9. Study of the swarf removal arrangement. 10.Study of rigidity and the vibration problems. 11.Study the safety devices. 12.Study the methods of manufacture of jigs and fixture.

    Supporting and Locating Principles


    Basic Rules for Locating 1. Positioning the Locators: Whenever possible, locators should contact the work on a machined surface. This permits accurate placement of the part in the tool and ensures the repeatability of the jig or fixture.

    PART

    WRONG METHOD

    RIGHT METHOD

    2. Tolerance: When designing a tool, the designer must keep the part-tolerance in mind. As a general rule, the tool tolerance should be between 20 and 50 percent of the part tolerance.

    3. Fool proofing: Fooling proofing is means by which the tool designer should ensures that the part will fit into the tool only in its correct position.

    Locating Methods
    1. Location from Plane surface:

    2. Location from Profile:

    3. Location from Cylinder

    Recess for burr and dirt

    Prevention of Jamming

    Diamond Pin Locator

    Diamond pins are the two way locating devices, because they only locates in one axis. Diamond locating pins are used in conjunction with a round locating pin. The round pin holds the workpiece in position to the fixture, and the diamond pin holds the workpiece to keep it from rotating around the round pin.

    Restricting Movements
    Six-point Location by 3-2-1 Method

    Three-pin base restricts six directions of movement

    Five-pin base restricts ten directions of movement

    six-pin base restricts twelve directions of movement

    Clamping and Positioning


    The function of any clamping device is that of applying and maintaining sufficient counteracting holding force to a workpiece to withstand all tooling forces

    Types of clamp

    Strap clamp

    Swinging clamp

    Hinge clamp

    Spherical washers for equalizing clamping forces.

    Pivoted strap clamp

    Edge strap clamp

    Edge jaw clamp

    Quick acting screw clamps.

    Swinging strap clamp
