Jump on the fast track to success with the 5th Edition of Jig and Fixture Design!
By emphasizing similarities among types and styles, Jig and Fixture Design, 5th Edition speeds readers toward 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. 384 pp.

Features:

  • A variety of jig and fixture designs are presented from start to finish, with detailed emphasis on design considerations and design parameters
  • 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
