A robust robotic arc welding fixture is a part-holding tool used to constrain components for welding in an automated system. [15] Welding fixtures locate parts using these clamps to secure important aspects of the subcomponent, such as holes, slots, or datum surfaces. Careful considerations must be made when designing welding fixtures.
A jig and fixture maker is under the faction of a tool and die maker/toolmaker. The standard differentiation of jigs from fixtures is that a jig guides the tool for the operation being carried out while a fixture simply secures the work. The terms are sometimes used interchangeably.
An example of a jig is when a key is duplicated; the original is used as a jig so the new key can have the same path as the old one. Since the advent of automation and computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines, jigs are often not required because the tool path is digitally programmed and stored in memory. Jigs may be made for reforming plastics.
To help with this alignment task, several kinds of jigs and fixtures can be used to provide the correct geometry (i.e., accurate coaxiality with the hole) without having to use freehand skill to approximate it: Hand-tapper: A simple fixture analogous to an arbor press in its basic shape. Its spindle is thus held accurately perpendicular to the ...
Tooling may refer to: Machine tools and the tooling, such as cutting tools, fixtures, and accessories, that is used on them Cutting tool (machining), any of hundreds of kinds of cutters; Fixture (tool), a fixed workholding or support device; Jig (tool), a movable workholding or support device
A drill bushing, also known as a jig bushing, [1] is a tool used in metalworking jigs to guide cutting tools, most commonly drill bits. Other tools that are commonly used in a drill bushing include counterbores, countersinks, and reamers. They are designed to guide, position, and support the cutting tool. [2]
A self-centering chuck, also known as a scroll chuck, [2] uses jaws, interconnected via a scroll gear (scroll plate), to hold onto a tool or workpiece. Because they most often have three jaws, the term three-jaw chuck without other qualification is understood by machinists to mean a self-centering three-jaw chuck.
Tool and cutter grinder, which usually can perform the minor function of the drill bit grinder or other specialist toolroom grinding operations. Jig grinder, which as the name implies, has a variety of uses when finishing jigs, dies, and fixtures. Its primary function is in the realm of grinding holes for drill bushings and grinding pins. It ...
