Jigs & Fixture development

Jigs and fixtures are widely used in the automation industry to increase the rate of identical parts and reduce the human effort required for producing these parts. They are suitable for producing similar articles in great number on a mass scale. Jigs and fixtures are used for holding and locating purposes so that the repetition work can be done. They are also used for inspection purposes. The main elements of jigs and fixtures are the body, locating elements, clamping elements, and grinding and setting elements. These elements guide the cutting tool in case of a jig and help in proper tool acting in case of the fixture.
