Jigs & Fixtures
� General definitions
� Jigs and fixtures are production-work holding devices used to manufacture duplicate parts accurately.
� The correct relationship and alignment
FGB40103 - Jigs & Fixtures
Design MTM section
� The correct relationship and alignment between the cutter, or other tool, and the work-piece must be maintained.
� To do this, a jig or fixture is designed and builtto hold, support, and locate every part toensure that each process of drilled ormachined within the specified limits.

Design MTM section
� Provide simple, easy to operate tools for maximum efficiency
� Reduce manufacturing expenses by producing parts at the lowest possible cost.
� Design tools that consistently produce parts of high quality
� Increase the rate of production with existing machine tools
� Design the tool to make it foolproof and to prevent improper use.
� Select materials that will give adequate tool life,
� Provide protection in the design of the tools for maximum safety of the operator.
Elements of Jigs & Fixtures
� Generally all the jigs and fixtures consist of:
� Locating Elements: these position the workpiece
accurately with respect to the tool guiding or setting
elements in the fixture.
� Clamping Elements: these hold the workpiece
FGB40103 - Jigs & Fixtures

� Clamping Elements: these hold the workpiece
securely in the located position during operation.
� Tool Guiding and Setting Elements: these aid
guiding or setting of the tools in correct position
with respect to the workpiece.
Advantages of Jigs and Fixtures
� Productivity: jigs and fixtures eliminate individual marking process, positioning and frequent checking. This reduces operation time and increases productivity
� Interchangeability: jigs and fixtures facilitate uniform quality in manufacture. There is no
FGB40103 - Jigs & Fixtures
Design MTM section
Interchangeability: jigs and fixtures facilitate uniform quality in manufacture. There is no need for selective assembly. Any parts of the machine fit properly in assembly, and all similar components are interchangeable.
� Skill Reduction: jigs and fixtures simplify locating and clamping of the workpieces. Tool guiding elements ensure correct positioning of the tools with respect to the workpieces. There is no need for skillful setting of the workpiece
FGB40103 - Jigs & Fixtures
Design MTM section
is no need for skillful setting of the workpiece of tool.
� Cost Reduction: higher production, reduction in scrap, easy assembly and savings in labor costs result in substantial reduction in the cost of workpieces produced with jigs and fixtures.
Limits and Fits
� The largest and the smallest of the shaft (or hole) are called the high and low limit, respectively. The difference between these limits, i.e. the permission variation, is called tolerance. If tolerance is allowed only on one
FGB40103 - Jigs & Fixtures
Design MTM section
tolerance. If tolerance is allowed only on one side of the nominal dimension it is called unilateral. For example, has got unilateral tolerance. If tolerance is allowed on both sides of the nominal dimension (e.g
it is called bilateral.

Classification of Fits
� Running fits: this provides for easy rotation as well as axial movement of shaft (male part) in hole (female part). It is used for bearing diameters of rotating shafts. Locators in production devices are made running fit with
FGB40103 - Jigs & Fixtures
Design MTM section
production devices are made running fit with workpiece for quick loading and unloading.
� Push fit: this fit requires light hand pressure or tapping for assembly of the mating parts. It is used mainly for precise assembly of replaceable locators in jigs and fixtures.
� Press Fit: the mating parts are assembled y
hammering or with a press. There is a positive
interference between the hole and the shaft.
This prevents rotary as well as axial
movement between the assembled parts.
FGB40103 - Jigs & Fixtures
Design MTM section
movement between the assembled parts.
� Force Fit: this is used for permanent
assemblies such as wheels and hubs on shaft
force fit parts require heavy pressure for
assembly.
� The clearance or interference provided
for obtaining the various fits is called
allowance.
FGB40103 - Jigs & Fixtures
Design MTM section
� In shaft basis of fits the diameter of the shaft is kept constant while that of the hole is varied.
� In hole basis, the hole size is kept constant and the shaft size is varied to obtain the various fits.
FGB40103 - Jigs & Fixtures

various fits.
� The tolerance depends upon the mating diameter sizes. The distribution of the tolerance is specified by alphabets.
� Holes are specified by capital letters A,B,C,D, etc. whereas shafts are specified by small letters a,b,c,d, etc.
� The alphabets are suffixed by digits 1,2,3,4,5;.16
showing the grade of accuracy. Digit 1 signifies the
highest accuracy and digit 16 the least.
FGB40103 - Jigs & Fixtures
Design MTM section
� In tool making accuracy grades 7 to 11
have been found most convenient.
Generally unilateral H type tolerance
distribution is preferred.
FGB40103 - Jigs & Fixtures
Design MTM section
distribution is preferred.
� Most of the accurate holes are made to
H7 limits which can be obtained by
careful reaming. For mass production,
the less accurate H8 holes are used.
� The following combinations are widely used in tool
making.
FGB40103 - Jigs & Fixtures

� Phospher Bronze
Materials used in Jigs and Fixtures
� Common materials used in jigs and fixtures construction;
� Cast iron
It used for tool bodies and some commercial of jig and fixture
components. The advantages of this material, it can absorb
vibration during machining operations.
� Carbon Steel
FGB40103 - Jigs & Fixtures
Design MTM section
� Carbon Steel
Carbon steel is the primary material of jig or fixture tooling. Its
ease of fabrication, low cost, availability and versatility have made
it popular for tool construction.
� There 3 types of this steel as follows:
Low Carbon Steels
Medium Carbon Steels
High Carbon Steels
Materials used in Jigs and Fixtures
� Low Carbon Steels
� Low Carbon Steels are used mainly for structural part of a jig or
fixture. They should only be used in areas where mass is required
and no wear or stress will occur such as base plate or support
plate. The carbon contents of this steel is between 0.05 to 0.30
percent, which is allow cast hardening to resist wear for low
FGB40103 - Jigs & Fixtures
Design MTM section
percent, which is allow cast hardening to resist wear for low
production tools.
� Medium Carbon Steels
� It used in much the same way as low carbon steels, but in areas
of tooling require more strength. It works well as clamps, studs,
and nut and in almost any area where toughness is required. The
carbon contents are between 0.3 to 0.50 percent. It can be
hardened by case hardening or other conventional hardening
processes.
Materials used in Jigs and Fixtures
� High Carbon Steels
� High Carbon Steels are generally limited to tool constructions in
areas that are subject to most wear. Parts such as drill bushings,
locators for clamp, wear pads, and supports can be made of this
material. The carbon contents are between 0.50 to 2.0 percent
and easily hardened by conventional hardening process.
