Author Description

This book gives a detailed definition of jigs and fixture and also identified the numerous advantages that are associated with the use of jigs and fixture in manufacturing which include productivity increases, cost reduction, interchangeability and high accuracy of parts, reduction of the need for inspection and quality control expenses, reduction of accident as safety is improved, as well as low variability in dimension which leads to consistent quality of Manufactured products. The work also explained that since the design is dependent on numerous factors which is analyzed to achieve an optimum output, that jigs and fixtures should be made of light materials to facilitate easy handling.
