Abstract: Generally, the positioning for various machining operation are carried out using jigs, fixtures, SPM’s (special purpose machines), CNC machine etc, which consumes large amount of time and money. Due to intense competitions in the market there is a desperate need to deliver components with minimal time and cost. All the above constrain have passed the way for the development of a new technique called “REPLICATING POSITIONER” that makes use of a locating plunger when the plunger is moved to a location. This technique, if employed, reduces the time and cost to a considerable value thus making it economically viable.

Keywords: Replicating Positioner, jigs and Fixtures, Plunger, Template.
