Work Holding Principles: Tool and Die Design

The document discusses principles of workholding for tool and die design. It defines workholding as securing a workpiece to be cut and workholders as devices that hold workpieces for manufacturing operations. It describes common workholding methods like hydraulic and pneumatic, as well as devices like jigs and fixtures. Finally, it outlines locating, supporting, and clamping principles to achieve stable, efficient, and safe workholding.

WORKHOLDING
How a part of a workpiece is cut
is as important as how it is held.

The correct workholding selection can


increase manufacturing process;
STABILITY
EFFICIENCY
SAFETY
Workholding
- is the process of securing or holding firmly the part of the
workpiece to be cut.

Workholder
- is a device that hold, grip or chuck a workpiece to perform a
manufacturing operation.
Principles
Workholding Methods
1. Hydraulic Holding

- creates a gripping force by


attaining power from
compressing liquid

- used for larger workpiece


2. Pneumatic Holding

- attain its gripping force from


the power created by
compressing gas

- used for smaller workpiece


Workholding Devices
Workholding Devices:

1. Jigs

- a work holding device that


holds, supports and locates a
workpiece and guides the
cutting tool into a specific
operation.
Workholding Devices:

2. Fixtures
- it is also a work holding device,
which holds, supports and
locates, but it does not guide the
cutting tool.
Workholding Process
1. Locators

-the device that restrict the movement


of the workpiece are the locators

- to perform properly, workholders


must accurately and consistently
position the workpiece relative to the
cutting tool, part by part.
“Referencing”

- is the dual process of positioning the workpiece


relative to the workholder (using fixtures), and the
workholder relative to the cutting tool (using jigs).
“Repeatability”

- is the ability of the workholder to consistently


produce parts within tolerance limit. The location of
the workpiece relative to the tool and of the tool to
the cutter must be consistent.
Mechanics of Locating
- A workpiece free in space can move
in 12 directional movement or
“degrees of freedom”. There are 6
Axial degrees of freedom (straight-line
movement). And there are 6 Radial
degrees of freedom (rotational
movement).
Forms of Location
1. PLANE LOCATORS

- locate a workpiece from any


surface. The surface may be flat,
curved or have an irregular
contour. This locate a part by its
external forces.
2. CONCENTRIC LOCATORS

- locate a worpiece from a


central axis. The most common
type of this is a locating pin
placed in a hole.
3. RADIAL LOCATORS

- locators that restrict the


movement of a workpiece
around a concentric locator.
2. SUPPORT

- they support the workpiece


during the machining process to
avoid workpiece deformation.
3. Clamps

- clamping is the process of holding


the position of the workpiece in the
jigs or fixtures. Clamps has two
primary function; First is to hold the
workpiece against the locator.
Second, it must prevent the
movement of the workpiece.
For the work to be stable, efficient and
safe, the following conditions must be met;
1. When clamped, the
component must not be
able to move in any
direction, either linearly or
rotationally.
2. The component must not
‘chatter’ or deflect as it is
being machined; poor
surface finish, inaccuracy
and tool damage.
3. The component must be
positively located and
precisely positioned within
the work-holding device.
4. In order to avoid
collisions, the toolpaths must
not coincide with any part of
the work-holding device or
clamps.
5. The work-holding device
must provide adequate
location and support to
achieve the geometric
tolerances specified on the
component drawing.
6. All information relating to
the work-holding device(s)
used and the setting of
datums must be
documented for the machine
setter/operator.
