The 5th edition of Jig and Fixture Design is comprehensive resource that provides a complete one-stop reference for a variety of jig and fixture designs, presented from start to finish, with detailed emphasis on design considerations and design parameters. This informative publication emphasizes the similarities among types and styles, helping to provide readers with a better and more complete understanding of the why's and how's of designing and building a variety of different workholders for manufacturing.
With coverage of a wide range of topics 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 application, as well as all-new sections on assembly tools and handling tools.
Jig and Fixture Design places heavy emphasis on the economics of jigs and fixtures, including methods and formulas for use in estimating workholder costs. Readers should possess a solid background in industrial processes, as well as machine shop technology. 384 pp.
This publication features:
- References to CAD and the application of CAD standards show readers how to save time and enhance their productivity when designing jigs and fixtures
- Updated drawings incorporate current ASME Y14.5M-1994 (R1999) geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) standards used in today's state-of-the-art manufacturing environments
- Expanded coverage of modular tooling shows how commercial tooling can be adapted to meet certain requirements, providing readers with cost-effective methods they can bring to the workplace
- A comprehensively updated glossary aids readers in mastering essential terms while detailed indexes make it easy to access important information
