Jigs and Fixtures improve productivity of process, equipment and operators.

Basic Principles of Jig and Fixture Design

1. Reduction of handling time: Method of location and clamping should be such as to reduce handling time to minimum.

2. Rigidity: The jigs and fixtures have to be rigid. Cast iron which absorbs shocks more readily is recommended as body material.

3. Clearance between Jig walls and component: There should be good amount of clearance between component and body of jig to provide for variations in the dimensions of the component. Clearance is also required for chips to come out.

4. Swarf Clearance: There has to be clearance for swarf. Cored holes are provided for this purpose in bigger jigs.

5. Locating and supporting surfaces wherever possible be removable and be of hardened material.

6. Easy loading and unloading: The process of loading and unloading the component should be as easy as possible. In case of heavy components, it should be possible to slide the component into the fixture.

7. Clamping: Clamping should always be arranged directly above the points supporting the work.

8. Fool proofing: Incorporate arrangements that ensure that jig closes only when the component is inserted correctly.

9. Design for safety: Do not leave any sharp edges in the jig body.

10. Component should be ejected when the jig cover is opened.

11. Spring Locations: The number of locations on any rough component should never exceed three in any one plane.

12. Jig Base: A jig which is not bolted to machine table must be provided with four legs.

13. Accuracy and Variations: Jig design must permit only acceptable variation in the dimensions of the finished component.

14. Jig bushes: Jig bushes fixed in jig plates are used to guide drills, reamers and boring bars. They can be replaced when worn.


Locating and Principles of Location

A work piece in space which is free to move in any direction can move in 12 directions. To restrict the movement of the work piece completely it has to be restricted in all its 12 directions. Restricting the movement of the work piece in all its degrees of freedom or in some degrees of freedom is done by location in a jig or fixture.

Principles of Location

1..3:2:1 Method of location: A work piece can be positively located by means of six pins so positioned that collectively they restrict the work piece in nine of its degrees of freedom. 3 pins are in one plane, 2 in a plane perpendicular to it and one in a plan perpendicular as well as adjacent to both of the planes.

2. Points more than necessary should not be used in any plane.

3. Principle of extreme position of locating points.

4. The principle of mutually perpendicular planes.

5. Location for accuracy

6. Small locating surfaces

7. Replacement facilitation

8. Swarf clearance

  1. Industrial inspection and quality control rely on precision measuring machines and precision fixturing alike. Reliable and repeatable fixture set-up is a basic requirement for successful and accurate measurement. Therefore fixturing is as important a part of proper quality control as the choice of a suitable CMM, form measuring machine or vision measurement system.
