Types of Fixtures

The document describes 6 types of fixtures used in machining: plate fixtures, angle plate fixtures, vise jaw fixtures, indexing fixtures, profile fixtures, and multi-station fixtures. Plate fixtures are the simplest using a flat plate with clamps, while angle plate fixtures machine parts at precise angles and vise jaw fixtures replace standard vises with custom jaws. Indexing fixtures space machined details and multi-station fixtures enable continuous high-volume production.

Types of Fixtures

1. Plate Fixture
2. Angle Plate Fixture
- Modified Angle Plate Fixture
3. Vise Jaw Fixture
4. Indexing Fixture
5. Profile Fixture
6.Multistation Fixture
1. Plate fixtures
• Simplest and popular form of fixture
• Made form flat plate
• Varity of clamps
2. Angle-plate fixtures
• Used for machine the parts at precise angle
2. Angle-plate fixtures
• Used for machine the
parts at precise angle.
• While most angle-plate
fixtures are made at 90
degrees, there are times
when other angles are
needed. In these cases,
a modified angle-plate
fixture can be used
3. Vise-jaw fixtures
• Standard vise-jaws are replaced with jaws that
are formed to fit the part.
• Vise-jaw fixtures are used for machining small
parts
• Vise-jaw fixtures are the least expensive type
of fixture to make
• Use is limited only by the sizes of the vises
available
Vise-jaw fixtures
4. Indexing
fixtures
• Very similar to
indexing jigs
4. Indexing fixtures
• Used for machining parts that have machined
details every spaced
5. Multi-station fixtures and duplex

fixtures

• For high-speed, high-volume

production runs, where the machining

cycle must be continuous.

• Duplex fixtures are the simplest form of

multi-station fixture, using only two

stations. This form allows the loading

and unloading operations to be

performed while the machining

operation is in progress
6. Profiling fixtures
• To guide tools for
machining contours that
machine cannot normally
follow
