Assembly Jig and Fixtures are production tools that are used to accurately manufacture duplicate and interchangeable parts. They are used for machining, assembling and inspection applications. Jigs and fixtures are specially designed to ensure interchangeability of components. It is to ensure that large numbers of components can be machined or assembled identically.
The main purpose of a jig is to provide accuracy, repeatability, and interchangeability in the manufacturing of products. Jig does the functions of guiding the tool to its correct position in addition it holds, supports and locates the work piece in place. It is a type of tool used to control the location and motion of another tool. Jigs are usually fitted with hardened steel bushings for guiding or other cutting tools.
A fixture is used to hold the work piece in a fixed location. The primary purpose of a fixture is to locate and hold a work piece during either a machining operation or some other industrial process. Fixture is a work holding device that holds, supports, and locates the work piece for a specific operation. It does not guide the cutting tool. It provides only a reference surface or a device. Each one of the fixtures is built to fit a particular part or shape.
