As reported by Testbook in the article “Jigs and Fixtures: Know Definition, Types, Materials used, Advantages and Applications”, jigs and fixtures are essential tools in the manufacturing world, helping secure workpieces and guide cutting operations with accuracy and efficiency. These specialized devices ensure consistency and repeatability, and play a critical role in reducing production time.
Jigs and fixtures are customized work-holding solutions that facilitate various complex manufacturing tasks such as drilling, welding, milling, and assembly. While a jig guides the cutting tool in relation to the workpiece, a fixture holds the workpiece in the correct position, providing the necessary stability and orientation during machining. Both tools contribute significantly to the interchangeability and standardization of manufactured parts by maintaining strict adherence to design tolerances.
