Apoorva M.V, Dr. M. Mohan Ram


In machining fixtures, minimizing work piece deformation due to clamping and cutting forces is essential to maintain the machining accuracy. Fixture is required in various industries according to their application. This can be achieved by selecting the optimal location of fixturing elements such as locators and clamps. The fixture set up for component is done manually. For that more cycle time required for loading and unloading the material. So, there is need to develop system which can help in improving productivity and time. Fixtures reduce operation time and increases productivity and high quality of operation is possible. The fixture designing and manufacturing is a complex process that demands the knowledge of different areas, such as geometry, tolerances, dimensions, procedures and manufacturing processes. The basic requirement of a fixture is to locate and secure the work piece in the correct orientation and relationship so the manufacturing process can be carried out according to design specifications. Fixture being an essential part of any of the machining process, acts as a supporting system..
