    Jigs and fixtures are production devices used to precisely manufacture repeated parts through maintaining a precise relationship between the fixture surfaces and the part. They provide location, clamping, support, resistance to cutting forces, and safety. Jigs hold and guide cutting tools to machine or assemble parts, while fixtures hold parts in place on machine tables. Common components include jig bodies, locating devices, clamps, and set blocks. Proper design of locating surfaces considers datums, small contact areas, raised surfaces, rounded edges, and adjustability. Jigs and fixtures increase accuracy and production while reducing costs.

    JIGS AND FIXTURES

    Jigs and fixtures are production devices that are used for accurate production of repeated parts essentially in mass production.

    The required accuracy is achieved by maintaining the precise relationship between the various surfaces of the fixture and part to be manufactured.
    A jig and fixture needs to provide the following functionality to be an effective production device: Location Clamping Support Resistance to cutting forces Safety

    Definitions
    Jig: A device that holds the work and locates the path of the tool. Fixture: A device fixed to the worktable of a machine and locates the work in an exact position relative to the cutting tool.

    Two main types of jigs:


    For machining purposes
    Locates the component, holds it firmly in place, and guides the cutting tool.

    For assembly purposes


    Locates separate component parts and holds them rigidly in their correct positions while they are being connected.
    Northwestern Tools

    Drill jig
    Open jig (also called plate jig or drill template) The simplest type of drill jig Consists of a plate with holes to guide the drills, and may have locating pins that locate the workpiece on the jig

    Drill bushings
    Precision tools that guide cutting tools such as drill and reamers into precise locations in a workpiece.
    Accurate Bushing Co.

    Locking pins
    Inserted to lock or hold the work piece securely to the jig plate while subsequent holes are being drilled.

    Uses of Jig and fixture


    Reduce cost of production. Increase the production. To assure high accuracy of parts Provide for interchangeability Enable heavy and complex parts to machine Reduced quality control expenses. Increased versatility of machine tool. Less skilled labour. Saving labour. Partially automates the machine tools Use improve the safety, accidents low

    Elements of Jig and fixture


    Sufficiently rigid bodies (plate, box or frame structure Locating elements. Clamping elements. Tool guiding elements. Elements for positioning or fastening the jig or fixture.

    Fixture components

    Standard Parts Co.

    Fixture base
    Fixture components and the workpiece are usually located on a base, which is securely fastened to the milling machine table.

    Fixture components

    American Drill Bushing Co.

    Clamps
    Clamps counteract forces from the feed of the table and rotation of the cutter.

    Fixture components

    Set blocks Cutter set blocks are mounted on the fixture to properly position the milling cutter in relation to the workpiece.

    Application

    V-location
    In V-location, work pieces having circular or semicircular profile are located by means of a Vee block. The block should be used accurately so that the variation in the work piece size are not detrimental to location.

    Vee can be used for both locating and clamping purpose for this two Vee can be used, one fixed other sliding one. Fixed Vee is used for locating and sliding one for clamping.

    The sliding Vee block may be actuated by means of a hand operated screw.

    Bush location
    Shaft type work pieces can be easily locate in a hardened steel bushes. The bushes can be plain or flanged type. A flange straighten the bush and also prevent it from being driven into the jig body if it is left unlocked.

    Design principles of location purpose


    The following principles should be followed while locating surfaces. 1.At least one datum or reference surface should be established at the first opportunity. 2. For ease of cleaning, locating surfaces should be as small as possible. 3. The locating surfaces should not hold swarf and thereby misalign the workpiece

    4.Locating surfaces should be raised above surrounding surfaces of the jigs or fixture.

    5. Sharp corners in the locating surfaces must be avoided. 6. Adjustable type of locaters should be used for the location on rough surfaces.

    7. Locating pins should be easily accessible and visible to the operator. 8. To avoid distortion of the work, it should be supported as shown in fig.
