Locating Principle Use For Jig & Fixture

The 3-2-1 principle locates a workpiece using six points of contact to constrain its movement along three axes. Three pins are placed in the base plate, two in a vertical plane, and one in a perpendicular plane, leaving three degrees of freedom for loading. Additional clamps can then restrict the remaining movement. The document also discusses basic locating principles like using important reference surfaces or holes, having locating points far apart, and fixture types for flat, cylindrical, or irregular workpieces. Ejectors may be needed to remove heavy or tightly secured parts.

3-2-1 PRINCIPLE LOCATION

The 3-2-1 principle of location (six point


location principle) is used to constrain the
movement of workpiece along the three axes
XX, YY, and ZZ. This is achieved by providing
six locating points, 3 pins in base plate, 2
pins in vertical plane and 1 pin in a plane
which is perpendicular to first two planes.

Three remaining degree of freedom 10, 11, 12


is unrestricted. It facilitates the loading of the
component in the fixture. This three degree
of freedom may restrict after loading of
component by using clamping devices.
BASIC PRINCIPLE LOCATING
One or more surfaces (preferably machined) and/or

drilled/bored hole(s) are to be taken for reference

The reference surfaces should be a significant and

important feature(s) based on which most of the

dimensions are laid down

Locating should be easy, quick and accurate In case

of locating by pin, the pins and their mounting and

contact points should be strong, rigid and hard

A minimum of three-point must be used to locate a

horizontal flat surface

The locating pins should be as far apart as feasible

Vee block and cones should be used for self-locating

solid and hollow cylindrical jobs.


FLAT LOCATOR CONICAL LOCATORS

These are used for the location of the flat These locators are used to support the workpieces
machined surfaces of a component with cylindrical holes

CYLINDRICAL LOCATORS JACK PIN LOCATORS

These are used for the location of These locators support rough workpieces..
components with drilled holes.
DRILL BUSH LOCATORS VEE LOCATORS

These locators hold and locate the cylindrical These locators hold circular and semicircular
workpieces. workpieces.
EJECTORS

The use of ejection devices to force the work piece out

from the jig or fixture is important in two positions.

(A) the work piece is heavy

(B) machining pressure forces the work piece to the

slides or based on the jig or fixture and the pressure and

oil or coolant fill will cause the work to strick and difficult

to remove on small jigs and fixtures , a pin located under

the work will remove the part radially.
