The design principle of jigs and fixtures Outline： 1. Introduction of jigs or fixtures Positioning ： in order to ensure the accuracy and raise the efficiency, jigs or fixtures should be used to ensure the accurate position of the workpiece in relation to the machine tool. Clamping ：In order to ensure the position of the location under external force , a clamping force must be imposed on the workpiece. Set up ：The comprehensive procedure of positioning and clamping. Jigs or fixtures ：The technological equipment to fulfill the procedure of set up. 1.1 Classification of jigs or fixtures Jigs or fixtures can be classified into two categories according to their general purpose, which are：general-purpose jigs or fixtures and special purpose jigs or fixtures. 1.2 The function and components of jigs or fixtures 1.2.1The function of jigs or fixtures : （1）Reduce the nonproductive time, and raise the production efficiency; （2）maintain the stability of machining accuracy; （3）enlarge the application scope of machine tools; （4） release the working stress, and ensure secure production. 1.2.2 The components of jigs or fixtures: （1）the location element; （2） clamping device; （3） setting element; （4）body of jigs or fixtures; （5）other elements and devices. Depending on the practical requirement, some jigs or fixtures have a dividing head, and the milling fixture must have a position key, etc. 2. The location of the workpiece 2.1Theoretical positioning of a solid in space isostatism It is well known that a perfect solid can be positioned in space by six parameters, normally three moveable parameters and three rotational parameters. The six points location principle: This principle was first proposed by physicists of the nineteenth century such as Lord, Maxwell, Curie, Michelson and others who needed to position objects exactly for their measuring instruments. An equivalent way of defining isostatism is to say that the reaction forces on the six points of contact can be deter
