    The document describes 6 types of fixtures used in machining: plate fixtures, angle plate fixtures, vise jaw fixtures, indexing fixtures, profile fixtures, and multi-station fixtures. Plate fixtures are the simplest using a flat plate with clamps, while angle plate fixtures machine parts at precise angles and vise jaw fixtures replace standard vises with custom jaws. Indexing fixtures space machined details and multi-station fixtures enable continuous high-volume production.

    Types of Fixtures

    1. Plate Fixture
    2. Angle Plate Fixture
    - Modified Angle Plate Fixture
    3. Vise Jaw Fixture
    4. Indexing Fixture
    5. Profile Fixture
    6.Multistation Fixture
    1. Plate fixtures
    • Simplest and popular form of fixture
    • Made form flat plate
    • Varity of clamps
    2. Angle-plate fixtures
    • Used for machine the parts at precise angle
    2. Angle-plate fixtures
    • Used for machine the
    parts at precise angle.
    • While most angle-plate
    fixtures are made at 90
    degrees, there are times
    when other angles are
    needed. In these cases,
    a modified angle-plate
    fixture can be used
    3. Vise-jaw fixtures
    • Standard vise-jaws are replaced with jaws that
    are formed to fit the part.
    • Vise-jaw fixtures are used for machining small
    parts
    • Vise-jaw fixtures are the least expensive type
    of fixture to make
    • Use is limited only by the sizes of the vises
    available
    Vise-jaw fixtures
    4. Indexing
    fixtures
    • Very similar to
    indexing jigs
    4. Indexing fixtures
    • Used for machining parts that have machined
    details every spaced
    5. Multi-station fixtures and duplex

    fixtures

    • For high-speed, high-volume

    production runs, where the machining

    cycle must be continuous.

    • Duplex fixtures are the simplest form of

    multi-station fixture, using only two

    stations. This form allows the loading

    and unloading operations to be

    performed while the machining

    operation is in progress
    6. Profiling fixtures
    • To guide tools for
    machining contours that
    machine cannot normally
    follow
