1. Difference between jigs and fixtures
SL. No. DESIGNATION JIG
1 Definition Locate, clamps the
workpiece and guides the
tool.
2 Elements Location, clamping and tool
guiding elements
3 Construction Less weight
4 Application Drilling, hole mining,
reaming, counter boring,
counter sinking, pre-drilling
for tapping, clearance holes
for screws and bolts.
5 Special Features Drilling bushes are used for
tool guiding
FIXTURES
Locates, clamps the
workpiece and cutter setting.
Location, clamping elements,
cutter setting elements.
More weight, heavy rigid
construction.
Milling fixture, Turning ,
welding
Assembly and inspection
fixture, gear cutting,
broaching, heat treatment
fixture.
Setting blocked are feeler
gauge are used set the
cutter.

2. State DESIGN GUIDELINES REQUIRED FOR JIG AND FIXTURE:-

❑ Component: Component: components or factors for design characteristics,

Functional, quality, quantity and material before taking up the design of Jig & Fixture.
❑ Capacity of the machine: It is essential to study the machine aspects for
accommodating its Stable and three axes traversing suitability, machine capability Study
for shaving the accuracy etc.
❑ Production Rate: Whether the quantity required for the product under unit
production от batch production or mass production has to be decided to presume the
economic viability for deciding for Jig or fixture.
❑ Location: It is utmost important to decide the location point to constrain DOF of the
parts under the cutting process. Reference face relation between job holding equipment
tools guiding are established by location only.
3. MAJOR ELEMENTS FOR JIGS AND FIXTURES
• Base and body or frame with clamping features orientation.
• Locating elements for proper positioning and orientation of the blank.
• Supporting surfaces and bases.
• Clamping elements.
• Tool guiding frame and bushes (for jig).
• Indexing plates or system if necessary.
• Auxiliary elements.
• Fastening parts.

4. Procedure for arresting all the Possible degrees of
freedom in a fixture :
➢ In this method, 9 degrees of freedom is controlled.
Pins A, B, C on the base plane ( a plane parallel to the plane which contains X and Y axis)
restrict the rotation of component about X axis and Y axis. It also limit the downward
movement of component along z axis. Ie. 1,2,3,4 and 5 degrees of freedom is restricted.
Pins D, E is in plane parallel to the plane containing X and Z axes. It prevents the rotation of
component about Z axis (6, 7 degree of freedom) and the movement of the body in along Y
axis towards one direction (8 degree of freedom). n this method, 9 degrees of freedom is
controlled.
