06-Checklist For Jigs and Fixture Design

This document contains a checklist of considerations for designing jigs and fixtures. It includes factors related to the machine the fixture will be used on such as ensuring it will fit, clearances, and register blocks. It also addresses locating the part, setting aids, bushings, manufacturing concerns, and design points such as strength, dowel spacing, accuracy needs, and future part changes. The checklist covers various aspects of the fixture from setup to manufacturing to ensure proper design for the intended use.

Checklist for Jigs and Fixture

Design.

Machine.
Are the correct speeds feeds available on
the machine?
Will the fixture fit into the machine for
which it is intended.?
Has the machine sufficient stroke length of
slides to perform the operation.?
Do the T- slots in the table lineup with the
clamping holes or slots in the fixture.?

Machine.
Is there enough clearance in these holes
or slots to permit adjustments of the jig
under the machine spindle.?
Are the register blocks in the fixture base
the correct size for the machine and are
they correctly located ?
Will any operating handle of the machine
strike on the fixture or be prevented from
moving by the fixture.?

Cutter.
Can cutting tool be adjusted when the
fixture is in place. ?
Can cutter be readily removed for
sharpening without disturbing the fixture.?

Locating the part.

Allowable variations in the part.


If there are no previous operations.
Vee locaters.
Spacing of locaters.
If the part is a rough casting.
Locating points and the datum in the
drawing is same or different.
Accumulation of errors.

Setting Aids.

Setting blocks.
Stoppers.
Dial indicator.
Built in adjustors.

Previous operation.

Locating points.
Scratching or distortion of the part.
Clamping.
Knobs-finger space.

Bushings.
Locking arrangement for slip bushes.
Marking- drill, ream.

Manufacture.

Standard parts wherever practical


Tool dimensional tolerances.
Avoid blind holes wherever possible.
Use replaceable parts.

Design points.
Is the fixture proportionally strong to damp out
vibrations and chatter ?
Are the dowel points in each part as widely
spaced as practicable ?
Is the accuracy of the operation require the base
of the fixture to be scraped to fit the machine
table.?
Is it possible to forecast any design change of
the part to make allowance in the design of the
fixture.?
