: Enhancing Student's Learning Desire with the Development of Various Jigs and Fixtures Models
Physical models of 2 sets of jigs and fixtures for teaching tool design and manufacturing processes
Description
- One fixture is used to fix the tubular joint in the lathe by the hole and end face so that machining can be carried on the inner and outer circular surfaces. The fixture can accept components with diameter ranging from 5 to 35mm.
- The other one is a fixture used in a milling machine. It is designed to machine a groove with width 28.5±0.lmm on the component with rocking arm. The component is fixed by the end face and nut from the right together in the milling machine. An accessorial bolster is used to prevent any vibration during the milling process.
Intended educational value
The models of jigs and fixtures will be useful in the subjects "Tool Design" (ISE 306) and "Fundamentals of Manufacturing Processes" (ISE 202) for demonstration during the laboratory activity.
Remarks
Student surveys showed that over 70% of students had no or little background knowledge of jigs and fixture and only 17.65% were very familiar with them. More than 70% of students thought it was clearer to observe the actual jig and fixture through the models than just view images.
