INTRODUCTION

1.1.GENERAL

Drilling jigs are used to machine holes in mechanical

products. To obtain positional accuracy of the holes, hardened
drill bushes or jig bushes are used to locate and guide the drill,
reamers etc., in relation to the work piece. These guide bushes
are not essential but these prove to be economical and
technically desirable as will be discussed ahead. The portion of
the jig into which the hardened bushes are fitted is called
bushes.

Drilling jigs are either clamped to the work piece in

which holes are to drill on the work piece is housed and
clamped in the jig body. If more than one hole is to be drilled,
the drill jig made to slide on the table of the drilling machine.
Such a drill jig is moved by hand into the position under the
drill so that the drill readily enters the bush. During the drilling
operation, the jig is held by hand. If the drill size is large
enough to produce high torque, either stops should be provided
or the drill jig clamped to the table on the drilling machine.

Drilling jigs makes feasible the drilling of holes at

higher speeds, with greater accuracy and with less skilled
workers than is possible when the holes are laid out and drilled
“by hand”. Also, they produced interchangeable parts, because
 each parts drilled in a drilling jigs should have the same hole
pattern as every other part.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

1.2.1 FIXTURES:
A fixture is a work holding device, which only holds
and positioned the work, but does not itself guide, locate or
positioning the cutting tool. The setting of the tool is done by
machine adjustment and a setting block or by using slip gauges.
A fixture is bolted or clamped to the machine table. It is usually
heavy in construction.

1.2.2 JIGS:
A jig may be defined as a device which hold and
positions the work, locate or and guides the cutting tool relative
to the work piece and usually is not fixed to the machine table.
It is usually lighter in construction.
Jigs are designed to hold, support and locate the work
piece to ensure that each part is machine within the specified
tolerance. Jigs are usually fitted with hardened steel bushes for
other cutting tools.

handling.

1.4 ADVANTAGES OF FIXTURES

 PRODUCTIVITY
A fixture increases the productivity by eliminating the
individual marking, positioning and frequent checking. The
operation time is also reduced due to increase in speed, feed and
depth of cut because of high clamping rigidity.
 INTERCHANGEABILITY AND QUALITY
A fixture facilitates the production of articles in large
quantities with high degree of accuracy, uniform quality and
interchangeability at a competitive cost.
 SKILL REDUCTION
There is no need for skillful setting of work on tool. Fixture
makes possible to employ unskilled or semi skilled machine
operator to make saving in labors cost.
 COST REDUCTION
Higher production, reduction in scrap, easy assembly and
saving in labor cost results in ultimate reduction in unit cost.
 It increases the versatility of machine tool.
 It becomes possible to accommodate several components at
setting and thus taking advantages of multiple machining.
 Fixture reduce the expenditures on quality control of machine
Parts.
1.5 ESSENTIAL FEATURES OF FIXTURES

 Reduction of idle time:

The design of fixtures should be such that the
process of loading and unloading the components takes the
minimum possible time and enables on easy locations and
clamping should be such that idle time is reduced to minimum.
 Replaceable parts:
The locating and supporting surface, as far as
possible should be replaceable that is not permanently fastened.
When worn out, they may be replaced by new ones. Moreover,
they should be standardized so that there is interchangeable
manufacture is possible.
 Hardened surface:
All locating and supporting surfaces should be of
hardened materials as far as conditions permit, so that they dont
quickly worn out and their accuracy is retained for a long time.

 Inserts or pads:
It is a very necessary provision in all fixtures.
Inserts or pads of the soft materials like brass, leathers or fibers
should be riveted to those faces of the clamps which will come
 in contact with the finished surface of the work piece, so that
these surfaces are not spoiled as a result of the metallic contact.
 Fool-proofing:
Since the use of fixtures allows for the
employment of unskilled worker, the design of such equipment
should be such that it would not to permit the work piece or the
tool be inserted in any position other than the correct one.
 Economic soundness:
The equipment to be used should be
economically sound that is the cost of its designing and the
manufacturing should be proportion to the quantity and price of
the producer.
 Easy manipulation:
The fixtures should be as light in weight as
possible and should be easy to handle and manipulate so that the
workman is not subjected to under fatigue.
 Position of clamps:
The clamps should be so positioned that clamping
occurs directly above the points supporting the work piece so as
to avoid distortion and springing of the work, which otherwise
will result is an inaccurate work. Moreover the clamps should
be strong enough to resist bending under clamping pressure.

 Clearance:
Sufficient amount of clearance should be provided
around the work in around the operator’s hands could easily
enter the body for placing the work piece and any variation in
the work piece can be accommodated.
 Rigidity & Stability:
 The fixtures should be so designed that it remains
perfectly rigid and stable during the operation. If needed,
provision should be made for proper positioning and rigidly
holding the fixtures on the machine table or spindle by means of
bolts and nuts and similar others means.
 Safety:
The design of jig should be such that it should not
constitute any anger to the operator.

1.6 GENERAL RULES FOR DESIGNING JIGS:

The following rules may be given as the main points to be
considered in the designing of jigs:
 Before planning the design of a tool, compare the cost of
production of the work with present tools with the expected cost
of production, using the tool to made, and see that the cost of
building is not in excess of expected of gain.
 Before laying out the jigs, decide upon the locating point and
outlining a clamping arrangement.
 Make all clamping and binding devices as quick as possible.
 In selecting locating points, see that two components parts of a
machine can be located from corresponding points and surfaces.
 Make the jig “fool-proof”; that is, arrange it so that the work
cannot be inserted except in the correct way.
 For rough casting, make some of the locating points adjustable.
 Locate clamps so that they will be in the best position to resist
the
pressure of the cutting tool when at work.
 Avoid complicated clamping at arrangement, which are liable to
wear or get out of order.
 Round all corners.
 Place all clamps as near as possible opposite some bearing point
of the work to avoid springing.
 Core out all unnecessary metal, making the tool as light as
possible, consistence with rigidity and stiffness.
 Provide feet, preferable four, opposite all surfaces containing
guide busing in drilling and boring the jigs.
 Place all bushings inside of the geometrical figure formed by
connecting the point of location of the feet.
 Provide holes on escapes for the chips.
 Provide clamping lugs, located so as to prevent springing of the
fixture, on all tools, which must be held to the table of the
machine while in use, and tongues for the slots in the tables in
all milling.

1.7 FACTORS TO BE CONSIDER FOR DESIGN OF JIGS

 Component:
The design of the component has to be studied carefully and
ensure that the work is being performed in proper sequence.
As far as possible, the maximum number of operation should
be performed on machine in single setting.
 Capacity of the machine:
The type and capacity of the machine on which the
operation is to performed needs careful consideration.
 Production requirement:
Design of equipment should be made on basis of actual
production requirement. This leads to decision for use of
manual, semi automatic tolling arrangement.
 Location:
a) Location refers to dimensional and positional relation
ship between the work piece and the cutting tool used on
machine.
b) The locator should ensure equal distribution of clamping
force throughout all sequence of operation. The locater
should be easily removable.
c) Location should be hardened, wear resistance and should
have high degree of accuracy.
d) Location is one that ensures that the movement of work
piece should be restricted.
e) Locator should be fool proofed to avoid improper
location of work piece in the machine table.
f) Location system should facilitate easy and quick loading
of work piece, it should be effect motion economy.
g) Redundant locators should be avoided.
h) Adjustable support may be placed with respect to the
shape, strength and size of the w work piece.
i) Sharp corners in the locating surface must be avoided.
j) At least one datum surface must be established.
 Loading and unloading arrangements
 a) There should be adequate clearance for loading and
unloading. Hence easy and quick loading and unloading
is possible.
b) The manipulators of work piece can be performed, only if
there is a clearance.
c) Size variation must be accepted.
d) It should be hardened material and non-sticky.
 Clamping arrangements:
a) Quick-acting clamps must be used as far as possible.
b) The clamping should not cause any deformation of work
piece.
c) The clamping should be always arranged directly above
the points supporting works.
d) The clamping and adjustment be only on the side of w
work piece.
e) The power clamps exerts high clamping pressure and
suitable for gripping heavy work piece.

 Clearance between the jigs and the component:

a) It is necessary to leave sufficient clearance between jig and
body and the component to accommodate variables sizes of
work, which are manufactured either by casting or forging.
b) Clearance is also needed for chips to pass out through the
opening between the components and the jig.
c) Swarf clearance is partially important in small jigs. Sharp
corner must be avoided as swarf has tendency to accumulate
there.
 Base or Body construction
The body and base of jigs are manufactured by any one of the
following methods.
a. Machining
b. Forging and then machining
c. Casting
d. Fabrication
e. Welding
 Frame construction procedure
a. All the parts can be completely machined before
assembly
b. Worn out parts can be easily replaced
c. Screw serve only to hold the components together
d. The dowels serve to hold the parts in alignment
e. Minimum of one screw and two dowels must be used.
f. Dowel should be located as apart as possible to the best
alignment.

 Welded construction
a. Weld construction is used in drill jig.
b. Welded jig must be stress relieved.
c. Faster to weld the components together

 Toll guiding and cutter setting:

 By adjusting the machine or using cutter-setting block. The drill
bushes fitted on jig plates guides the tools. There are 3 types of
jig bushes.

i.Press fit wearing bushings

a) Plain type- used in permanent press fit installation –light
loads
b) Head type- permanent press fit installations. With stand
heavy axial loads.
ii.Renewable wearing bushing:
a. Slip type – used when frequent change in bushing to perform
more
than one operation in a hole like drilling.
b) Fixed type – used at long production runs and also for single
production runs.

iii.Liner bushing- Also called master bushing

- No head arrangement.
iv.Screw bushing- Used when there is necessary of bushing to
hold the work piece as well as guide the tool

 Rigidity and vibration:

Jigs must process enough rigidity.
Jigs should not vibrate. Vibration may lead to unwanted
movement of work piece and tool.

 Safety device:
 Jigs designed to assure full safety to the operation. Protruding
sharp edges should be avoided.
 Cost:
All components should be simple as possible. The initial
investment required to design and built the jig should be
optimum.

1.8 TOLERANCE AND ERROR ANALYSIS

 Limits and fits:
The largest and smallest dimensions of shaft or hole are
called as high and low limits. The difference b\w this limit, the
permissible variation is called as tolerance. If the tolerance is
allowed only on one side of the nominal dimension it is called
unilateral.
 Classification of fits:
1. Running fit:
This provides for easy rotation as well as axial movement
of shaft in holes. It is used for bearing diameter of rotating
shaft. Locaters in production devices are made running fit with
w\p for quick loading and unloading.

2. Push fit:
This fit requires light hand pressure on tapping for
assembly of mating parts. It is used mainly for precise assembly
of replaceable locaters in jigs.
3. Press fit:
 The mating parts must be assembled by hammering or by a
press. There is a positive inference b\w the hole and shaft. This
prevent rotary as well as axial movement b\w the assembled
parts. Hence press fit is used widely for assembly of drill bushes
(outside diameter) and locaters, which are rarely replaced.
4. Force fit:
It is used for permanent assemblies wheels and hubs of
shafts, force fit parts require heavy pressure for assembly.

1.9 General materials for drill bushes:

Drill bushes are made from quality case hardened steel or
tool steel. They can also be made of mild steel, which is
carburized to give a sufficient case depth. After hardening, the
drill bushes are ground, the bore and outside diameter being
ground concentric. The bore of the bush is sometimes lapped to
give good finish and a fin running fit with the tool.
1.10 Types of drill bushes:
1. Press fit bushes
a. Headless or plain bush
b. Headed or flanged bush
c. Headed collared press fit bush

2. Renewable bushes
a. Fixed bushes
b. Slip bushes
3. Liner bushes
4. Threaded bushes
 5. Screw or clamping bush

1.11Elements of jigs
i.Jig body:
The jig body supports the work piece and has locating and
clamping elements in it. It is provide with four jig feet and rests on
the machine table.
ii.Jig feet:
A jig feet which is not bolted to machine tool is provide with
four jig feet, instead of the entire bottom surface lying flat on the
machine table. Jig feet are either cast with the jig body or
detachable or welded to the base.
They are usually hardened and ground to have flat bottom.
iii.Jig bushing:
For guiding drills, reamer and boring bars, hardened steel
bushes are employed which are fixed in the jig plates. The bushes
can replaced when worn-out with less cost than replacing entire jig
plates.
iv.Jig plate or bush plate:
Usually the jig plate carries jig bush for guiding the tool. The
jig plate may be rigidly construed as a single unit of a jig or it may
be of leaf.
In this type, the plate must be clamped with the jig frame.

v.Locaters:
Locaters help a work piece to resist in proper position in a
jig. Depending on the type of work piece. Various types of locators
are used for locating components. In the jig with reference to the
 tool. The locators are usually detachable type, fixed to the jig
frame. So whenever wear occurs, the locators are replaced new
ones.
vi.Clamps:
Clamps are used for holding the work piece rigidly against all
disturbing forces. They also keep the work piece firmly in locating
pins of surfaces.
Sufficient thickness of section should be provided to with standing
clamping forces.
vii.Fool proof element:
These elements prevent the work from being loaded wrongly
loaded into the jig. The elements may be simple tousling pegs,
cross pins or pins.

2.1.FABRICATION OF DRILL JIG

1. SELECTION OF JIG
An angle plate jig is to be selected for making
straight hole on the cylindrical rod. Number of the hole 1.

2. SELECTION OF BUSH
Press fit is preferred, therefore select fixed bush with
hole range diameter 8mm.
Generally the out side diameter of the bush will be push fit or press fit
and inner hole will be running fit.
Select bush of fixed type DDB; 5.100
The dia meter to be drill the work piece is=10mm
For 10mm diameter,
As per design norms bush(Short)dimensions
L1=12mm
 L2= 8mm
D3=20mm
But in our project bush dimension is
L1=25mm
L2= 20mm
D3=25mm

3. SLECTION OF LOCATERS:

For side location, pin locater is to be fabricated to the work piece.

Locater diameter is 24 mm that is equal to inner diameter work piece.

3. SELECTION OF JIG BODY

Thickness of frame t =10mm

Base length = 3 x Length of work piece
= 3 x 70 =210
But in our project our base length is designed =200mm
Working height h2 = 2 x outer diameter of work piece
= 2x 40 =80
Total Height of jig ht = 2t + h2
= (2 x 10 + 80)
= 100
But in our project total height =180mm

2.2. DESIGN PROCEDURE OF THE DRILL JIG

Dimension of the jig components:

1. Base plate of the jig = 200 x 150 mm
2. Thickness of the base plate = 10mm
3 Vertical jig plate length &Breadth, Width = 155x80x10mm
4. Top jig plate length & breadth, width = 100 x80 x12
5 .Locater outer diameter = Ø 25x100

Dimension of the Job:

1. Outer Diameter of the job =40.00mm
2. Inner diameter of the job =24.5
3. Required dia of the drill=10mm(No1)

DESIGN ASPECTS

Properties of Mild steel

Physical property:
 Density - 7860 Kg/m3
 Melting point - 1427˚c
 Thermal conductivity – 63

Carbon content:
Low Carbon (or) Mild steel – 0.15% to 0.45% carbon

Mechanical property:
 Elasticity
 Ductility
 Toughness
  Weld ability

In our design, pin locator have a main part hence the calculations are
concentrated on it.

Design for Screw (Bolt):

Size of the screw (bolt) = M24
Pitch = 2.5mm (P.S.G. pg: 5.42)
For coarse thread dc = 0.84 *d
= 0.84*24
dc = 20.16 mm
Stress area = 245 mm2
Initial tension in bolt P1 = 2860d
= 2860*24
= 68640 N
But this, P1 =∏/4 * d c2 * ft
Tensile stress, ft = P1 / ∏/4 * dc2
= 68640 /∏/4 * 20.162
ft = 215.03 N/ mm2
As the pin is double shear,
P1 =2* ∏/4 * dc2 * ft
68640 = 2* ∏/4 *20.162 * ft
ft =68640*4 / 2 * ∏ *20.162
= 107.51 N/ mm2
Shear stress (fs):
As the pin is double shearZ
P = 2* ∏/4 * dc2 * fs
Shear stress = load / area
= 68640 / ∏/4 * 24 2
 = 72.07 N/ mm2
Shear stress is lower than the tensile stress. Therefore, the design is safe.
Tensile stress> Shear stress There fore design is safe
