C - Washer
 Loading
1.Loosen the strap clamps.
2.
3.Place the job on the V – block
and locate it on three surfaces.
4.
5.Align the job by adjusting the
cams and then tighten the
strap clamp in 90 º.
6.
7.Then place the C – washer on
the pin and tight it with help of
nut.
8.
9.See that all the fasteners are
secured, so as to maintain the
accuracy of workpiece.
 Unloading

1.Loosen the Strap clamps.

2.
3.Loosen the nut, remove the
C – Washer.
4.
5.Loosen the cam & remove
the workpiece.

 Base Plate

1.Base plate is made out of

cast iron.
2.The Boss is provided for
clamping on the machine
table.
3.Holes have been drilled for
fixing angle plate & setup
block.
 Angle Plate

1. Angle plate is made up of

cast iron having two faces at
right angle to each other.
2. Pin has been welded for
locating the workpiece.
3. Holes is provided for strap
clamps & for cams.
4. Also holes are provided for
clamping V – block.
 V - Block

1.The V – Blocks are used

for holding round
workpiece.
2.
3.V – Blocks are
accurately machined
and made up of cast
iron & steel.
 Cams

1.When there is a
considerable variation in
workpiece dimension
from batch to batch an
eccentric locator or cam
can be used.
2.
3.The eccentricity of the
cam can be varied by
rotating it.
 Strap Clamp
1.These are made of rectangular
plates and acts like levers.
2.
3.The clamp is tightened by rotating
an hexagonal nut.
4.
5.One end of clamp presses against
the workpiece.
6.
7.It take care of any variation in
workpiece.
 C - Wa s h e r

1.Simple & quick in operation.

2.
3.The slot permits removal of
the C – Washer after a
slight loosening of
hexagonal nut.
 Resting Pad

1.Resting pads locate the

component and supports
the component.
2.
3.It also helps in swarf
removal.
 Dowel

1.Dowels are used for

locating purpose.
2.
3.They are placed as far as
possible.
 Soc. Headed Cap Screw

1. This are meant for fastening

purpose.
 Ring

1. It Supports the component .

 Nut

1. It use for tightening the

workpiece securely in the
fixture.
 Setup Block

1.Suitable cutter setting

pieces should be
provided for easy &
accurate tool setting.
2.
3.Gap of 0.4 – 0.5mm
facilitates cutter setting
with the help of the
feeler gauge.
 Te n n o n s

1.Milling fixture are generally

fixed with locating tennons.
2.
3.These are fixed in slots
machined on the resting face
on the base.
4.
5.Tennons are made close
sliding fit in machine T –
Slot.
6.
7.Tennons align milling fixture
with the longitudinal stroke of
the machine.
 Screw

1. This are meant for fastening

purpose.
