Welding Fixture and Checking Gauge Design for Clutch Pedal Assembly PAGE BVCOERI Page PAGE 82 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction The first manufactured products were made one at a time. Early artisans started with little more than raw materials and a rough idea of the finished product. They produced each product piece by piece, making each part individually and fitting the parts into the finished product. This process took time. Moreover, the quality and consistency of products varied from one artisan to the next. As they worked, early manufacturing pioneers realized the need for better methods and developed new ideas. Eventually, they found the secret of mass production: standardized parts. Standard parts not only speeded production, they also ensured the interchangeability of parts. The idea may be obvious today, but in its time, it was revolutionary. These standard parts were the key to enabling less-skilled workers to replicate the skill of the craftsman on a repetitive basis. The original method of achieving consistent part configuration was the template. Templates for layout, sawing, and filing permitted each worker to make parts to a standard design. While early templates were crude, they at least gave skilled workers a standard form to follow for the part. Building on the template idea, workers constructed other guides and work holders to make their jobs easier and the results more predictable. These guides and work holders were the ancestors of todays jigs and fixtures. Yesterdays work holders had the same two basic functions as todays securely holding and accurately locating a work piece. Early jigs and fixtures may have lacked modern refinements, but they followed many of the same principles as today’s work holder designs. The project is to design a fixture for Clutch pedal. The part is machined in two more industries increasing the cost and machining time of the part. To eliminate outsourcing of the part the
