ABSTRACT
The project gave a detailed about designing and manufacturing of fixtures, and also identified
the numerous advantages that are associated with the use of fixtures in manufacturing to
include: production increase, cost reduction, interchangeability and high accuracy of parts,
reduction of the need for inspection and quality control expenses, reduction of accident as
safety is improved, automation of machine tool to an appreciable extent, easy machining of
complex and heavy components, as well as low variability in dimension which leads to
consistent quality of manufactured products. Study of work piece and finished component size,
component drawing, process sheet of fixture, Plant layout of workshop (2d/3d design),
Specification of various machine at workshop, Provision of locating devices in the machine,
Various stages of manufacturing fixture, Available clamping arrangements in the machine,
Machining time, Safety precaution etc., Required level of the accuracy in the work.
In machining fixtures, minimizing work piece deformation due to clamping and cutting forces is
essential to maintain the machining accuracy. The various methodology used for clamping
operation used in different application by various authors are reviewed in this paper. The fixture
set up for component is done manually. For that more cycle time required for loading and
unloading the material. Fixtures reduce operation time and increases productivity and high
quality of operation is possible.

1.1 Fixture
Fixture hold the work piece securely in the correct position with respect to the
machine/cutter during operation. There is sometime provision in fixture for setting the tool
with respect to the work piece/fixture, but the tool is not guided as in a jig. Fixtures are often
clamped to the machine table. There are many standard work holding devices such as jaw
chucks, machine vises, drill chucks, collets, etc. which are widely used in workshops and are
usually kept in stock for general applications. Fixture are most often identified by machine
tool where they are used.
Economically speaking the most valuable function of a fixture is to reduce labor costs.
Without a fixture, operating a machine or process may require two or more operators; using
a fixture can eliminate one of the operators by securing the work piece.

Fixture Body
Fixture body, or tool body, is the major structural element of a fixture. It maintains
the spatial relationship between the fixturing elements mentioned above, viz.,
locators, clamps, supports, and the machine tool on which the part is to be processed.
There are a wide range of materials from where jigs and fixtures could be made, to resist
tear and wear, the materials are often tempered and hardened. Also, phosphor bronze and
other non-ferrous metals, as well as composites, and nylons for wear reduction of the
mating parts, and damage prevention to the manufacturing part is also used. Some of the
materials are discussed below:

Material Description
Fixture design consists of a number of distinct activities: fixture planning, fixture layout
design, fixture element design, tool body design, etc. They are listed in Figure 1.4 in their
natural sequence, although they may be developed in parallel and not necessarily as a series
of isolated activities in actual execution. Fixture design deals with the establishment of the
basic fixture concepts:
Fixture layout is an embodiment of the concepts in the form of a spatial
configuration of the fixture,
Fixture element design is concerned with the concrete details of the locators, clamps
and supports,
Tool body design produces a structure combining the fixture elements in the desired
spatial relationship with the machine tool.

Stage one deals with information gathering and analysis. These include product analysis such as
the study of design specifications, process planning, examining the processing equipment and
considering operator safety and ease of use.
Stage Two involves the consideration of clamping and locating schemes. A clamping scheme is
devised in such a way that it will not interfere with the tools or cutters and are fully compatible
with proposed locating surfaces or areas.
Stage Three is the design of the structure of the fixture body frame. This is usually built around
the work piece as a single element which links all the other elements used for locating, clamping
tool-guiding, etc. into an integral frame work.

operations, the cutting tool rotates during machining, while with turning the part
rotates. This situation creates another condition the tool designer must deal with -
centrifugal, or rotational, force. Work-holding devices include two to six jaw chucks
and collets of varying shapes and diameters. Work may also be held between the head
and tail stock of the lathe or “between centers.”
Grinding Fixtures – Grinding fixtures are a family of fixtures rather than a single
classification. The two major types of grinding fixtures are those used for surface
grinding and cylindrical grinding. The magnetic table is the preferred work-holding
device on surface grinders. Cylindrical grinding is usually a secondary operation after
turning. Often the same centre holes used for between-centres turning may be used for
grinding the part. As friction is more of a factor in grinding than in other processes,
fixture design must allow for coolant flow and swarf removal. If not built into the
grinding machine itself, the fixture design should include wheel dressing capability as
well.
Broaching Fixtures – Broaching fixtures hold and locate the part in relation to the
broaching tool. Internal and external broaching requires different approaches to their
respective designs. Internal broaching requires less clamping because the process tends
to keep the part firmly seated on the fixture. External broaching requires resistance to
both pull and push forces that are exerted on the part, requiring more sophisticated
fixturing.
1.11 Safety consideration while designing and manufacturing fixture:-
Some of the factors that needs to be considered in designing and manufacturing fixtures are:
1. Clear sighting surfaces- worker should be able to see the work piece clearly without
bending or leaning towards the machine.
2. No sharp corners.
3. Bolts and nuts within the body and not protruding out.
4. Sufficiently stiff and rigid construction, must be attached firmly.
5. Controls and adjustment if any, should be located convenient to the operator to
preclude the necessity of reaching over or around, particularly where fixture is used on
power cutting machine.
6. Fixture should be strong enough for the job.
16
DESIGNING AND MANUFACTURING OF FIXTURE

7. The designs should incorporate standard clamping devices such as star hand wheels,
wing nuts, cam clamps, and lever clamps to avoid the necessity for handling wrenches,
thus eliminating many mishaps that usually accompany the use or misuse of this hand
tool.
8. The line of the clamping pressure should fall on or between stops to prevent spring
in the work. The clamping strain should fall within the fixture.
9. Locating points should be visible and easily accessible to the operator for cleaning
purposes when reloading.
10. Jigs should be of proper size to be readily handled.
11. On jigs that must be lifted frequently during the process, adequate handles should be
provided.
12. Care should be taken to design the jig so that the hands are clear of the cutting
blades during loading, cutting, and reloading cycles.

About DITE Workshop
2.1 DITE workshop:-
A workshop is a building or room which contains work piece, tools or machinery for making
or repairing things, especially using wood or metal. The workshop in our college is of process
layout type, in its machines with similar functions are grouped together. The institute has
workshop equipped with latest machines. Workshop faculty of the Delhi institute of tool
engineering are very helpful which gives lots information related to manufacturing and guided us
so that no accident have been occur while machining.

If all the processing equipment and machines are arranged according to the sequence of
operations of the product, the layout is called product type of layout. In this type of layout, only
one product of one type of products is produced in an operating area. This product must be
standardized and produced in large quantities in order to justify the product layout.
The raw material is supplied at one end of the line and goes from one operation to the next quite
rapidly with a minimum work in process, storage and material handling.
Fig. 2.1 shows product layout for two types of products A and B

2. More floor space is required in process layout than other types of plant layouts.
2. Process layout
The process layout is particularly useful where low volume of production is needed. If the
products are not standardized, the process layout is more low desirable, because it has creator
process flexibility than other. In this type of layout, the machines and not arranged according to
the sequence of operations but are arranged according to the nature or type of the operations.
This layout is commonly suitable for non-repetitive jobs.
Same type of operation facilities are grouped together such as lathes will be placed at one place,
all the drill machines are at another place and so on.

This type of layout is the least important for today’s manufacturing industries. In this type of
layout the major component remain in a fixed location, other materials, parts, tools, machinery,
man power and other supporting equipment’s are brought to this location.
The major component or body of the product remain in a fixed position because it is too heavy or
too big and as such it is economical and convenient to bring the necessary tools and equipment’s
to work place along with the man power. This type of layout is used in the manufacture of
boilers, hydraulic and steam turbines and ships etc.
Merits
4. Combination Layout:-
Now a days in pure state any one form of layouts discussed above is rarely found. Therefore,
generally the layouts used in industries are the compromise of the above mentioned layouts.
Every layout has got certain advantages and limitations. Therefore, industries would to like use
any type of layout as such.
Flexibility is a very important factory, so layout should be such which can be molded according
to the requirements of industry, without much investment. If the good features of all types of
layouts are connected, a compromise solution can be obtained which will be more economical
and flexible
The type of layout of the workshop in our course of training was process layout.

1. Lathe machine:-
Working Principle: The lathe is a machine tool which holds the work piece between two
rigid and strong supports called centers or in a chuck or face plate which revolves. The
cutting tool is rigidly held and supported in a tool post which is fed against the revolving
work. The normal cutting operations are performed with the cutting tool fed either
parallel or at right angles to the axis of the work.
A lathe is a tool that rotates the work piece about an axis of rotation to perform various
operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, deformation, facing, and turning,
with tools that are applied to the work piece to create an object with symmetry about that
axis.

2. Milling machine:-
Introduction: Milling is the cutting operation that removes metal by feeding the work against a
rotating, cutter having single or multiple cutting edges. Flat or curved surfaces of many shapes
can be machined by milling with good finish and accuracy. A milling machine may also be used
for drilling, slotting, making a circular profile and gear cutting by having suitable attachments.
Working Principle: The work piece is holding on the worktable of the machine. The table
movement controls the feed of work piece against the rotating cutter. The cutter is mounted on a
spindle or arbor and revolves at high speed. Except for rotation the cutter has no other motion.
As the work piece advances, the cutter teeth remove the metal from the surface of work piece
and the desired shape is produced.

4. Shaper machine:-
Introduction: The shaper is a machine tool used primarily for:
Working Principle: The job is rigidly fixed on the machine table. The single point cutting
tool held properly in the tool post is mounted on a reciprocating ram. The reciprocating
motion of the ram is obtained by a quick return motion mechanism. As the ram reciprocates,
the tool cuts the material during its forward stroke. During return, there is no cutting action
and this stroke is called the idle stroke. The forward and return strokes constitute one
operating cycle of the shaper.

5. Grinding Machine:-
The grinding machine consists of a bed with a fixture to guide and hold the work piece,
and a power-driven grinding wheel spinning at the required speed. The speed is
determined by the wheel’s diameter and manufacturer’s rating. The grinding head can
travel across a fixed work piece, or the work piece can be moved while the grind head
stays in a fixed position. Fine control of the grinding head or table position is possible
using a Vernier calibrated hand wheel, or using the features of numerical controls.
Grinding machines remove material from the work piece by abrasion, which can generate
substantial amounts of heat. To cool the work piece so that it does not overheat and go
outside its tolerance, grinding machines incorporate a coolant. The coolant also benefits
the machinist as the heat generated may cause burns. In high-precision grinding machines
(most cylindrical and surface grinders), the final grinding stages are usually set up so that
they remove about 200 nm (less than 1/10000 in) per pass - this generates so little heat
that even with no coolant, the temperature rise is negligible.

Milling can be done with a wide range of machine tools. The original class of machine tools for
milling was the milling machine (often called a mill). After the advent of computer numerical
control (CNC), milling machines evolved into machining centers: milling machines augmented
by automatic tool changers, tool magazines or carousels, CNC capability, coolant systems, and
enclosures. Milling centers are generally classified as vertical machining centers (VMCs) or
horizontal machining centers (HMCs).

CNC turning refers to the automated machining process of shaping material, such as
metal, wood or plastic, using a computer numeric control (CNC) machine. In contrast to
traditional turning utilizing a lathe, which usually requires continuous operator attention,
CNC turning allows for multiple cutting actions to be completed under computer control.
During the CNC turning process, a piece of material (wood, metal or plastic) is rotated
and a cutting tool is moved parallel to the axis of rotation to produce precise diameters
and depths. CNC turning can be performed on the outside of the work piece or the inside
(also known as boring) to produce tubular components to various geometries.

Place a wooden pad or suitable cover over the table surface to protect it from possible
damage.
When installing or removing milling cutters, always hold them with a rag to prevent
cutting your hands.
While setting up work, install the cutter last to avoid being cut.
Never adjust the work piece or work mounting devices when the machine is operating
Chips should be removed from the work piece with an appropriate rake and a brush.
An end mill is a type of milling cutter, a cutting tool used in industrial milling applications. It is
distinguished from the drill bit in its application, geometry, and manufacture. While a drill bit
can only cut in the axial direction, a milling bit can generally cut in all directions, though some
cannot cut axially. End mills are used in milling applications such as profile milling, tracer
milling, face milling, and plunging.

Collet:-
It is a subtype of chuck that forms a collar around an object to be held and exerts a strong
clamping force on the object when it is tightened, usually by means of a tapered outer collar. It
may be used to hold a work piece or a tool. An external collet is a sleeve with a (normally)
cylindrical inner surface and a conical outer surface. The collet can be squeezed against a
matching taper such that its inner surface contracts to a slightly smaller diameter, squeezing
the tool or work piece to hold it securely. Most often this is achieved with a spring collet, made
of spring steel, with one or more kerf cuts along its length to allow it to expand and contract.

We had used scale for the rough marking and measuring of stock material according to
the requirement for back plate and clamping plate.
Here machining time is less than 1 hour for each back plate and clamping support plate. The total
volume of material, feed rate, cutting velocity, depth of cut etc. affect the machining time.

Grinding wheels:-
It is a wheel composed of an abrasive compound and used for various grinding (abrasive
cutting) and abrasive machining operations. Such wheels are used in grinding machines. The
wheels are generally made from a composite material consisting of coarse-particle aggregate
pressed and bonded together by a cementing matrix (called the bond in grinding wheel
terminology) to form a solid, circular shape. Various profiles and cross sections are available
depending on the intended usage for the wheel. They may also be made from a solid steel or
aluminum disc with particles bonded to the surface. Today most grinding wheels are artificial
composites made with artificial aggregates, but the history of grinding wheels began with
natural composite stones, such as those used for millstones.

chance of severe accident and it can destroy the workpeice, so deburring is very important
operations which should not be neglected.

It takes about more than 1 hour for finishing each of the base plate and clamping support
plate.The total volume of material, feed rate, cutting velocity, depth of cut etc. affect the
machining time.
5.6 Cutting slot in the “Clamping support block” on the milling machine:-
Firstly marks the line for angular cutting using the dimension given in the component
drawing.
Now note down the angle at which slot is being cut.
Initially cut using end mill cutter of diameter 8mm until their have same height being cut.
And we had rotate the milling machine head of angle 30degree and the fixed at that place
Be assured that machine is rigidly mounted on the vise and held it on the machine table.
Now giving depth of cut of about 0.2-0.4 depth of cut we give the angular cut step wise
and using traverse and cross-traverse handle move the cutting tool over the workpeice i.e.
Using manual feed.
We had provided the coolant on the tool and workpeice so that there should not be any
wear and tear on the workpeice.

Drill bits
They are cutting tools used to remove material to create holes, almost always of circular cross-
section. Drill bits come in many sizes and shapes and can create different kinds of holes in many
different materials. In order to create holes drill bits are usually attached to a drill, which
powers them to cut through the work-piece, typically by rotation. The drill will grasp the upper
end of a bit called the shank in the chuck.

CONCLUSION
After undergoing a 2 week of In house training in the college I had learnt machining learnt how
to operate shaper machine, grinding machine, milling machine etc. I found myself enjoying this
project throughout the process. Especially when remembering my experiment with the strings in
the workshop and how much it annoyed me every time I was entering workshop, I feel I engaged
really well with the subject. For this project I have done things that I’ve never done, like I used
to learn every single thing which make my project more beautiful and tried to record everything.
In this training we had learnt about manufacturing and designing of fixture.
All faculty of workshop are very cooperative, they always helps us during machining of job.
They gave me a lot of exposure on the terms of reference and procedure related to the process of
my work.
Exposure that where given to me by this college workshop can provide the picture on a real life
industrial situation, the task and responsibility that would be carried by me on the field.
Although, I feel there are improvements to be made on how the viewer perceive what I am
trying to communicate. I’m thankful to each and every student and teacher staff who helped me
in every aspect of my training. I’m so happy that will recommend further upcoming students who
will give exam in ipu to recommend to take admission in this college.
