PRACTICAL DESIGN OF DRILL JIG FOR MASTERCONNECTING ROD
1
FIGURE SHOWING COMPARATIVE STRENGTH OF SIMILAR COMPONENT CASTING: <STRENGTH MORE THAN CASTING BUT NATURAL FIBRE LINES CUT ABRUPTLY FORGING: >>MOST STRENGTH AS NATURAL FIBRE LINES ORIENTED AS PER CHANGE IN SHAPE 2
WHY COMPONENTS LIKE SPANNER ARE MANUFACTURED BY FORGING METHOD? • The components like “spanner” are subjected to lot of force while tightening and loosening of nuts, hence there is a requirement of strength. That is why they are manufactured by forging method instead of machining or casting.

MASTER CONNECTING ROD
5
Problem: Design a drill jig to drill holes(12) on periphery of master connecting rod. (Assume: holes are previously drilled in big and small end)
6
Base plate
Chamfer
Indexing holes
Chamfer
Base plate (in Red color) Location pins: Yellow color Pins can be force fitted in the base plate instead of welding. Chamfer is given for easy loading and unloading ( To prevent jamming)
7
H- PLATE Match this hole with Centre hole in big end of master connecting rod.
H plate is a loose part of drill jig. (not the integral part).
