By emphasizing similarities among types and styles, Jig and Fixture Design, 5E speeds readers to a complete understanding of the why's and how's of designing and building a variety of different workholders for manufacturing. From simple template and plate-type jigs to complex channel and box-type tooling, this newly revised edition features more than 500 illustrations of tools and applications to spur readers to success. All-new sections on assembly tools, handling tools, and catalog reading enable readers to develop important skills. Specific examples of various jigs and commercially available fixtures also appear to guide readers in developing their understanding of how design principles, as well as the latest design and manufacturing technologies, are being applied in the construction of jigs and fixtures today. As in past editions, heavy emphasis is placed on the economics of jigs and fixtures, including methods and formulas for use in estimating workholder costs. A solid background in industrial processes, as well as machine shop technology, is assumed.

This is a comprehensive introduction to the principles and concepts involved in designing jigs and fixtures for manufacturing. Beginning with basic design fundamentals, the text introduces, and explains in detail, information necessary to create efficient and cost effective work holders. Many specific examples of various jigs and fixtures, as well as many commercially available fixtures are applied as examples. ..The basic design principles, standards, and concepts applied in designing and construction jigs and fixtures are introduced and thoroughly explained and illustrated. Heavy emphasis is placed on the economics of jigs and fixtures using methods and formulas in determining work holder costs. From start to finish, a design is explained in detail and illustrated including all design considerations and parameters. Review tests are provided for all the units and some include design exercises..

This newly revised text presents the basic concepts of the design of workholding devices. Topics covered include the basic types of jigs and fixtures commonly used, the principles upon which the design of these devices is based, and practical applications of jigs and fixtures. Stron coverage of geometric dimensioning and toleracing, modular tooling systems, power clamping and low cost tooling is included. Numerous part drawing problems and review questions provide extensive application of text material. This book should be of interest to students of FE colleges on mechanical drafting or machine technology disciplines.
