Design and Modelling of Boring Fixture for Roller Stand

Abstract

A Fixture is a device that must be able to position, hold support the workpiece throughout machining operation. When number of parts to be machined is large, fixture provide time saving criterion to locate work for accurate machining operations. Various areas related to design of fixture are well illustrated by many scholars but there is need to couple the research with the industrial application to put the matter in practice. This paper aims to provide sufficient condition to establish correct relation to workpiece and fixture in terms of positioning and locating work with the machine tool to have fine dimensional accuracy. The cast component, roller stand is main part of cutting machine. The major operation to be performed are boring and milling slot. The real time criteria are to bore exact hole and slot with respect to each other with dimensional accuracy within limit. The research work include 3D assembled and exploded view of fixture and its components using Cero Elements and AutoCAD 2012 in addition to detail & Assembly drawing
