Jig and Fixtures

Description

Jigs and fixtures are essential manufacturing tools designed to improve accuracy, efficiency, and consistency in machining and assembly processes. A jig is a custom-made device that guides cutting tools like drills, reamers, or milling machines, ensuring precise positioning and repeatability. A fixture, on the other hand, securely holds, supports, and locates a workpiece during machining or assembly operations, enabling uniform quality even in mass production. By eliminating the need for repeated measurements and individual marking, jigs and fixtures significantly reduce cycle time, minimize human error, and enhance productivity. They are widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, heavy engineering, electronics, and consumer goods, where precision and standardization are critical.
