    The document discusses the process of designing jigs and fixtures. It begins by outlining the objectives and criteria for jig and fixture design, such as increasing productivity while minimizing costs. The main elements of jigs and fixtures are then described, including bearings, cams, clamps, and other components. The design process involves defining the problem, analyzing design needs, researching options, developing alternatives, and selecting a final design. Drawings and documentation are produced, including assembly drawings, part drawings, and bills of materials. Design tools can include CAD and CAE software to aid the design and testing of alternatives.

    Lecture04 (04 Feb 08)

    Problem statement
    Determine the product / workpiece Define the problem/s
    With clear & simple statement Eg. Drill a 20mm dia. Hole. Is high machining accuracy required? Where to install the jig?

    Statement examples
    To drill three 20mm dia. through holes on mild steel plate of thickness 20mm with minimum dimensional accuracy of dia. 50m using a standard drilling machine.
    8

    Design needs analysis


    The pre-design analysis
    Analyse part drawing Analyse assembly drawing Produce quality audit on part & assembled component

    Pinpoint the problems Answer the questions on who, why, how, when, what & where
    Who will operate the tool? What are the hole-location tolerances on the part? Is there any obstruction that may hinder the loading & unloading the workpiece? 9

    Design needs analysis


    Answer the questions on who, why, how, when, what & where
    Where are the free flow movement of scrap chips? What is the material and its hardness? Where to locate? Where to clamp? Where are the working areas? What is minimum machining accuracy? What machines to be used & its min. accuracy?
