Development of Multioperation Fixture for Reduction in Setup Time

Abstract

Industries required the jobs to be done with extreme accuracy and within stipulated time period. Hence industries demand multiple operations to be done simultaneously. But practically some things not possible to attend. So, if we able to provide some sort of solution like reduction in loading and unloading time of component will reduces set up time and worker fatigue. A fixture is a work-holding or support device used in the manufacturing industry. Fixtures are used to securely locate and support the work, ensuring that all parts produced using the fixture will maintain conformity and interchange ability. The basic design consideration of this work is to secure the workpiece without damaging it. Also, the loading and unloading time of the workpiece must be as low as possible. The components must be produce economically using this fixture. Another tough requirement while using this fixture is also satisfied as any unskilled labor can also operate this fixture. It is usually better, from an economic standpoint, for a fixture to result in a small cost reduction for a process in constant use, than for a large cost reduction for a process used only occasionally. This manufacturing fixture helps to reduce the manufacturing lead time with reduction of the worker fatigue.
