Experiment no 03

Aim of the experiments :TO STUDY THE APPLICATION OF JIGS


AND FIXTURES IN NC SYSTEM.

Introduction:
Jigs and fixtures:
Jigs and fixtures are production tools used to accurately manufacture duplicate and
interchangeable parts. Jigs and fixtures are specially designed so that large
numbers of components can be machined or assembled identically and to ensure
interchangeability of components.

JIGS
It is a work holding device that holds, supports and locates the
workpiece and guides the cutting tool for a specific operation. Jigs are
usually fitted with hardened steel bushings for guiding or other cutting
tools. a jig is a type of tool used to control the location and/or motion of
another tool. A jig's primary purpose is to provide repeatability,
accuracy, and interchangeability in the manufacturing of products. A
device that does both functions (holding the work and guiding a tool) is
called a jig. An example of a jig is when a key is duplicated, the original
is used as a jig so the new key can have the same path as the old one.

FIXTURES
It is a work holding device that holds, supports and locates the workpiece for a
specific operation but does not guide the cutting tool. It provides only a reference
surface or a device. What makes a fixture unique is that
each one is built to fit a particular part or shape. The main purpose of a fixture is to
locate and in some cases hold a workpiece during either a machining operation or
some other industrial process. A jig differs from a
fixture in that a it guides the tool to its correct position in addition to locating and
supporting the workpiece.
Examples: Vises, chucks

Advantages of Jigs and Fixtures

PRODUCTIVITY:
Jigs and fixtures increases the productivity by eliminating the individual marking,
positioning and frequent checking. The operation time is also reduced due to
increase in speed, feed and depth of cut because of high clamping rigidity.

INTERCHANGEABILITY AND QUALITY:


Jigs and fixtures facilitate the production of articles in large quantities with high
degree of accuracy, uniform quality and interchangeability at a competitive cost .

SKILL REDUCTION:
There is no need for skillful setting of work on tool. Jigs and fixtures makes
possible to employ unskilled or semi skilled machine operator to make savings in
labour cost.

COST REDUCTION:
Higher production, reduction in scrap, easy assembly and
savings in labour cost results in ultimate reduction in unit
cost.
Fundamental principles of Jigs and Fixtures design

LOCATING POINTS:
Good facilities should be provided for locating the work. The article to be
machined must be easily inserted and quickly taken out from the jig so that no time
is wasted in placing the workpiece in position to perform operations. The position
of workpiece should be accurate with respect to tool guiding in the jig or setting
elements in fixture.
FOOL PROOF:
The design of jigs and fixtures should be such that it would not permit the
workpiece or the tool to inserted in any position other than the correct one.
REDUCTION OF IDLE TIME:
Design of Jigs and Fixtures should be such that the process, loading, clamping and
unloading time of the workpiece takes minimum as far as possible.
WEIGHT OF JIGS AND FIXTURES:
It should be easy to handle, smaller in size and low cost in regard to amount of
material used without sacrificing rigidity and stiffness.
JIGS PROVIDED WITH FEET:
Jigs sometimes are provided with feet so that it can be placed on the table of the
machine.
MATERIALS FOR JIGS AND FIXTURES:
Usually made of hardened materials to avoid frequent damage and to resist wear.
Example-MS, Cast iron, Diesteel, CS, HSS.
CLAMPING DEVICE:
It should be as simple as possible without sacrificing
effectiveness. The strength of clamp should be such that not only to hold the
workpiece firmly in place but also to take the strain of the cutting tool without
springing when designing the jigs and fixtures.

Factors to be considered for design of


Jigs and Fixtures

Component-
Design to be studied carefully.Ensure work is performed in a proper
sequence.Maximum operations should be performed on a machine in single setting

Capacity of the machine-


Careful consideration to be performed on type and capacity of machine.

Production requirements-
Design to be made on basis of actual production
requirements. Then comes decision on manual and automatic tooling
arrangements.

Location-
• Location should ensure equal distribution of forces
throughout all sequence of operation.
• Location should be hard resistant, wear resistant and
high degree of accuracy.
• Movement of workpiece should be restricted.
• Should be fool proofed to avoid improper locations of
the workpiece.
• Should facilitate easy and quick loading of workpiece.
• Redundant locators should be avoided.
• Sharp corners must be avoided.
• At least one datum surface should be establised.
