Jigs and Fixtures

Jigs and fixtures are tools used to securely hold or locate a workpiece in a machining process to enable precise and repeatable manufacturing. They are important for machine design as parts should be designed to accommodate standard fixturing and fast, repeatable manufacturing. Basic categories of jigs include clamps, chucks, vises, bushings, and modular fixtures. Resources for selecting and purchasing jigs and fixtures include catalogs, websites, and journal articles.
