Development of Machining fixtures - A practical Workshop with project

Date : 17 to 21 April, 2023   Time : 0940 Hrs to 1300 Hrs   Location / Mode : Online

INTRODUCTION

The course is designed with an intent of bringing a greater insight into fixtures and their application across all manufacturing processes. Comprehensive learning on fixtures for machining, welding, inspection and assembly is the main focus in the programme. Machining fixture are most complex in nature due to customer’s stringent requirements from the part accuracy (both dimensional and geometrical) and productivity point of view. Basics of fixture design, if not implemented correctly results in poor productivity & quality problems. Set-up time and cycle time reduction, increased accuracy on components, deskilling the job setting operation are the obvious advantages of a good fixture. Competence in right fixture differentiates excellent organizations.

Complete fundamentals and the process of fixture design is described from concept to final design in the programme. Pre-design activities like design input, conceptualization, process planning, accuracy consideration, cycle time estimation, POKAYOKE, 3D modelling of parts and assembly are demonstrated systematically with case studies. It will be highly interactive and covers entire 360° view on all fixtures.
