    Workholding involves locating, supporting, and clamping a workpiece for manufacturing processes like machining or assembly. It increases production rates and ensures quality and accurate parts. Workholding devices include standard chucks and vises as well as customizable fixtures, which are used for irregularly shaped parts requiring strict tolerances and allow for faster manufacturing speeds. Fixtures have a more complex setup than standard devices but hold parts more securely. Effective fixture design relies on understanding locating, supporting, and clamping principles to select and position components appropriately.

    Workholding in Manufacturing

    Describe workholding.

    Workholding is the process of locating, supporting, and clamping a workpiece for a manufacturing process, such as machining
    or assembly. Proper workholding increases production rates, improves part quality, and ensures accurate and functional finished
    parts.

    Workholding devices can be divided into two general categories: standard workholding devices, such as chucks and vises, and
    fixtures, which are customizable workholding devices made from sets of modular components. Fixtures are used in operations
    involving irregularly shaped parts and strict workpiece tolerance. Fixtures also hold parts more securely, allowing for increased
    manufacturing speeds and feeds, which can improve production rates. Standard workholding devices are easier to use as they
    have an uncomplicated setup consisting of one or two components, while fixtures have more components and a range of setup
    options.

    Fixtures require a design phase to determine how best to arrange their different components. Fixture designers must understand the
    underlying principles of locating, supporting, and clamping to properly select and position fixture components.
