Rudresha N, Vijay Kumar M

Abstract: In Mass Production to produce high quality products and reduce the cost by avoiding defect manufacturing practices also for increasing the efficiency of the process, interchangeability of components, accuracy, reduced manufacturing lead time and easy assembly in automobile sectors, Fixtures are preferred since from so many years. The Fixture should support the work piece while manufacturing according to specified dimensions and tolerances it must be approximately located and clamped. Designing fixture for pump cover or other contour surfaces importance is given to the support blocks and clamps also cost is other criteria it should not affect the total cost of the product. According to specified dimensions and requirement the Fixture is Designed and Fabricated. Modeling is done using Unigraphics NX.

Keywords: CAD – Computer aided design, CAM – Computer Aided Manufacturing, JIT – Just in Time manufacturing.
