Jig bushes are used in drilling and boring fixtures to reduce drill run-off and hole expansion. Different types of bushes are used for various purposes like short production runs, batch production, drilling at an angle, or adjusting hole depth. Indexing plates and plungers are used to automatically rotate workpieces incrementally to enable drilling multiple holes in a pattern. Automation of auxiliary operations in jigs and fixtures can increase productivity by reducing operator fatigue through use of pneumatic, hydraulic or electrical drives.

• Jig bushes are used in drilling and boring jigs.
• The use of jig bushes reduces drill run-off and hole expansion. • Press fit bushes are used mainly for short production runs and when accuracy is less important. • Renewable bushes are generally used for large batch productions. • Slip bushes are used when two or more tools are used for machining on the same axis. (drilling followed by reaming for finishing hole) Contd.. • Headed drill bushes are used when hole depth must be controlled. • Special bushes are used to drill a hole through an inclined surface. • Oil grooved bushes are used to permit complete lubrication of the bush during high speed drilling operations. • Threaded bushes can be adjusted to suit the length of the component. Contd.. • Headed drill bushes are used when hole depth must be controlled. • Special bushes are used to drill a hole through an inclined surface. • Oil grooved bushes are used to permit complete lubrication of the bush during high speed drilling operations. • Threaded bushes can be adjusted to suit the length of the component. Indexing devices • Indexing jigs and fixtures are used when holes or slots are to be machined in a w/p. • This is achieved by 1. Rotating the workpiece or 2. Sliding movement of the workpiece • Many indexing jigs and fixtures employ a simple indexing plate for their operation. Indexing Plate Working of Indexing plate • The indexing plate consists of six equispaced slots on the periphery. • Suppose six holes are to be drilled in a flange as shown.
• The flange is mounted on the index plate and
made to rotate under the drill. • Thus each hole is drilled now. Contd… • For this an indexing plunger is used. • This indexing plunger fits into each slot of the index plate. • To index the flange (or workpiece), the plunger is pulled out of the slot. Spring loaded steel ball. Fig (a) • The rotating member is revolved manually. • Due to the rotating effect, the ball is pushed out of the groove of rotating member. • The workpiece is rotated until the next groove in it is encountered by the ball. • The ball is now pushed again into this groove by spring action. Device using peg. Fig(b) • In this, a steel peg is used which is retained in the fixed member. • For indexing, the peg is pulled out of the bush of the rotating member. • The rotating member is now revolved until the next bush is encountered by the peg. Auxiliary elements • Auxiliary operations are to be done on a large scale. • If these operations are done manually, it may cause considerable fatigue to the operator. • Thus, the operator efficiency will be reduced and also the time spent in this activity can affect the production. • These problems can be overcome by making the performance of jigs or fixtures automatic. Contd… • The automation should be economical justified by the rate of production. • Automation can be partial or full. • In fully automated jigs or fixtures, the function of the operator is limited only to the loading of the workpieces. • The drive mechanisms in jigs/fixtures can be 1. Pneumatic 2. Hydraulic 3. Pneumo-hydraulic Contd.. 4. Electrical • Pneumatic or air operated drives are widely used because the compressed air is readily available in most of the production shops. • Pneumatic drives are linear piston actuators. • Hydraulic drives are used with relatively large components. • Their use eliminate the need of external lubrication as the working fluid is oil. Contd..
• Motor driven clamping devices finds applications in turret
lathe machine tools. • Torque from the motor shaft is transferred through a reducer and a clutch to a screw. • This screw drives a nut linked to the rod of clamping device. • The clutch disengages after acquiring the desired clamping force.
