Background

Design of workholding & fixturing is key to effective utilization of machine tools. Fixtures, 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 definite advantages of a good fixture. Hence good competence in workholding & fixturing differentiates excellent organizations producing quality components.

Keeping this in view, Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association (IMTMA) is organizing a 2 day online training programme on Design of Fixtures- Machining.
