TABLE JIG

TABLE JIG
This also called as turn over jig because the work piece is located from the face that is to be drilled and clamped in the jig Then the jig is turned over for drilling This jig is also known as open jig as the work piece is not having an! enclousre of the jig bod! around it"so it presents no problem in chip disposal

 #igure below shows a turn over jig or open jig" The jig is seated on the four foot nuts when locating and clamping the work piece " and inverted to the position shown when maching This t!pe is eas! to load and swarf clearence is no problem

(ain disadvantage is the lack of support given to work piece beneath the point of cutting )nl! the surface be drilled" loading and drilling forces are generall! directed towards the clamping devices therefore clamping device should be rigid enough to withstand drilling force

INDEXING JIGS
Inde*ing jigs are used to drill holes on peripher! of c!lindrical work at the re+uired angular positions An inde*ing device is provided in the jig

The drill is fed through the bush to drill the first hole Then locking device is released" the inde*ing device is pressed down The workpiece is inde*ed for drilling ne*t hole The inde*ing is done with the help of a rotating member and an inde*ing device

The fig shows a simple inde*ing drill jig to produce four radial holes in the workpiece shown The workpiece is located and clamped to a movable member that can be inde*ed to bring the workpiece to the re+uired position relative to the cutter or drill bush and then locked in that position untill the feature is being machined The locking device must be separate from the workpiece clamp

In machining and assembl! operations" au*iliar! time forms +uite a large percentage of standard time per piece The au*iliar! operations have to be done hundred of times per da! If done manuall! it ma! cause considerable fatigue to operator and reduces efficienc! else the time spent

B! automatic "it is economicall! justified b! the rate of operation and assures high efficienc! Automated jigs and fi*tures should e*clude possibilit! for incorrect location of workpiece

Drive mechanism in Automatic drill jigs are : (echanical ,neumatic 1!draulic ,neumoh!draulic Electrical

Pneumatic Drives
,neumatic drives essentiall! re+uire the air c!linder Air operated devices are widel! used due to read! availabilit! of the compressed air

Advantages of Pneumatic : /elative simplicit! of low cost 2uick action and reliabilit! in service -apable of withstanding overloads
