In manufacturing of components, use of fixture is unavoidable. The proper fixture design is required to maintain the form and dimensional accuracy of the component under machining operations. In machining of the components, the fixtures are used to locate and constrain the workpiece to perform the machining effectively. The use of fixtures ensures the accuracy, reliability and interchangeability of the components. It enhances the economy of manufacturing by reducing setup time and can be handled by less skilled manpower. The effective machining is achieved by Workpiece Fixture System (WFS) in a batch or mass production system. The workpiece is located and constrained in WFS using number of locators and clamps. The arrangement of locators and clamps around the workpiece is termed as Fixture Layout Design (FLD). The effective FLD ensures the quality of the components by minimizing the elastic deformation of the workpiece under machining conditions. The key elements of fixture system used for any machining operations are Fixture body, locators and clamps. Fixture body acts as the base element of the fixture system on which the component is placed for performing machining.
