14~1 JIGS AND FIXTURE TYP_ES

The qual ity, type, and complexity of jigs and fixtures used_ depend_solely
on the type of work to be machined and the scale of production requ~re~. A
few simple ty pe drill jigs are described below :

1 . Template jig. 5. Leaf jig.

2. Plate.jig. 6. Ring jig.
3. Channel jig. 7. . Box jig.
/
4. Diameter jig.

Template jig .: The template jig is. the simplest of all types. A plate 2
having_holes at the desired positions serves as template which is fixed on
the component 1 to be drilled. The ~rill 21 is guided through these holes of
the template 2 and the · required holes &re drilled on . the ·workpiece at the
relative positions with each. other as on the · template. A template jig is
jllustrated in Fig.14.27. · - · ·

Plate jig : A plate Jig · is an ·

incorporating drill bushes on the
template. The plate .jigs are employed
to drill holes on · large parts . v-1

Channel jig : . The channel jig
illustrated in Fig.14.29 is a simple
type of jig having channel like cross- 3
section. The component I is fitted 2
within · the channel 4 and is · located 1 .
and clamped by rotating the · knurled

guided through the drill bush 8 which
is said radially with the work.

and the holes are drilled by the tool through drill _bushes . .

Box jig : The box jig illustrated · in Fig.14.33 is of box like construction
within which th_e components is located the buttons 18. TI.e _w ork I is
clamped by rotating the ~am handle which also locates it. The drill bush 3
