Principle of Design üLocation ü üClamping ü üLoading & Unloading

Location üLocation is done using 3-2-1 locating principle. üSurfaces A, B, & C are used for locating purpose. üLocating pads, Ring, Cams & pin are used to located surface A, B, C on the fixture, to increase the accuracy of the workpiece.

Clamping

Strap Clamp

C - Washer

Loading 1.Loosen the strap clamps. 2. 3.Place the job on the V – block and locate it on three surfaces. 4. 5.Align the job by adjusting the cams and then tighten the strap clamp in 90 º. 6. 7.Then place the C – washer on the pin and tight it with help of nut. 8. 9.See that all the fasteners are secured, so as to maintain the accuracy of workpiece.

Unloading 1.Loosen the Strap clamps. 2. 3.Loosen the nut, remove the C – Washer. 4. 5.Loosen the cam & remove the workpiece.

Base Plate

1.Base plate is made out of cast iron. 2.The Boss is provided for clamping on the machine table. 3.Holes have been drilled for fixing angle plate & setup block.

Angle Plate 1. Angle plate is made up of cast iron having two faces at right angle to each other. 2. Pin has been welded for locating the workpiece. 3. Holes is provided for strap clamps & for cams. 4. Also holes are provided for clamping V – block.

V - Block

1.The V – Blocks are used for holding round workpiece. 2. 3.V – Blocks are accurately machined and made up of cast iron & steel.

Cams 1.When

there

is

a

considerable variation in workpiece

dimension

from batch to batch an eccentric locator or cam can be used. 2. 3.The eccentricity

of the

cam can be varied by rotating it.

Strap Clamp 1.These are made of rectangular plates and acts like levers. 2. 3.The clamp is tightened by rotating an hexagonal nut. 4. 5.One end of clamp presses against the workpiece. 6. 7.It take care of any variation in workpiece.

C - Wa s h e r

1.Simple & quick in operation. 2. 3.The slot permits removal of the C – Washer after a slight

loosening
