A
fixture is a device used in machining and manufacturing processes to
hold and securely position the job (workpiece) during machining or assembly operations. Unlike jigs, fixtures
do not guide the cutting tool. Instead, they ensure that the job remains firmly fixed in the correct position relative to the cutting tool.
Key Features of a Fixture:
Holding the Job Securely: Ensures the workpiece is held in the correct position and orientation.
Providing Stability: Prevents movement or vibration of the workpiece during machining, ensuring accuracy.
No Cutter Guidance: Fixtures do not guide the cutting tool; instead, they allow the cutting tool to operate freely according to the machine's settings.
Customization: Fixtures are often
custom-designed for specific workpieces or machining operations.
