Abstract

The industry of Mechanical Engineering is a vast field of technology and Innovation. We can see development in its various fields like CNC lathe, CNC machine center, Polymer Casting, Milling Machine, Blow Molding, Rotational Molding, Flexible manufacturing system, Grinding, transfer machines, robotics, etc. taking place. After all these developments and innovations in these manufacturing industries, there is a continuous use of jigs and fixtures in different forms. Sometimes, we use it independently or in combination with other systems. They are basically tools used to produce faultless manufacturing parts. Fixtures are designed specifically for machining or assembling a large number of parts or components which are similar in identity, and also to ensure interchangeability of components. As the design of a fixture plays a major role in its function, our aim was to understand and give proper considerations while designing different parts of a fixture and how small changes can make a fixture for different purposes. These considerations are important elements for the fixture design process.
