2 Teaching Work-holding in Undergraduate Courses Sangarappillai Sivaloganathan Department of Mechanical Engineering, United Arab Emirates University P.O. Box 15551, Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. & Rajesh Ganithi Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Petroleum Institute P.O. Box 2533, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Key Words: Process planning, work holding, jigs, fixtures Abstract: Work holding is an important process in machining and requires several months of intense learning to master it. But knowledge of the process is essential for a manufacturing engineer and therefore should be taught to students in the undergraduate courses. Work holding is an important part in manufacturing planning and is readily affected by the manufacturing process chosen. It influences the material-form choice and the number of settings required. In order to educate this important activity to the students an exercise that can demonstrate all these aspects was needed. This paper describes such an exercise, the machining of the same component where different manufacturing conditions dictated the choice of different forms of material, machines and methods of holding the work. The exercise permitted the use of both jig and fixture and thus it is unique. It enabled the students to understand the use of jigs, fixtures and standard work holders like the three jaw chuck and the vise. It also describes the assessment and students feedback. 1 Introduction Machine tool is a power driven appliance to bring the cutting tool and the work piece in contact and to have a relative motion between them that executes the cut. The cut transforms the raw stock into a finished or semi-finished component. In order for the cut to be effective work has to be held firmly and appropriately and for the students, work-holding or Fixturing is one of the least understood and yet most fundamental of manufacturing processes [1]. Fixturing is a vast topic and needs dedicated months to master. However the students need to understand this important topic. Students at United Arab Emirates University normally complete their Bachelor s Degree in Mechanical Engineering in ten semesters. They take the Design and Manufacture Lab course, Mech 440, in the 7 th, 9 th or 10 th semester and go for their industrial placement during the 8 th semester. Manufacturing processes, Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacture are introduced to these senior students in other courses prior to Mech 440. One of the objectives of Mech 440 is to help students to integrate theoretical and practical knowledge gained from previous courses with emphasis on the design and manufacturing area. This paper describes how the learning outcomes from this assignment are set out and how the students are given a learning experience in planning and implementing work holding in the conventional and CNC machining processes. 2 Literature Review Work-holding in manufacturing is the immobilization of the work-piece for the purpose of allowing a fabrication or an assembly process to be carried out on it [2]. A

3 jig is used in hole fabrication, for (i) locating and holding a work-piece and (ii) guiding the production tool, while a fixture is a work-holding device used only for securely locating and holding the work-piece without providing a built-in guidance to the manufacturing tool. Both jigs and fixtures are aimed at (i) increase in productivity by eliminating individual marking, positioning and frequent checking (ii) uniform quality across the batch (iii) reduction in skill requirement due to the simplification of locating and clamping of the work-piece and (iv) cost reduction due to less scrap, savings in labor and increased productivity. 2.1 Fundamental Concepts Accurate machining requires the work-piece to be placed and held in correct position and orientation. Locating is the establishment of a desired relationship between the work-piece and the jig or fixture, which is again appropriately located and fixed with respect to the cutting tool and the machine tool. Once the work piece is located it has to be held firmly in that position. Clamping is the process of holding the position of the work-piece in the jig or fixture once it is located and the primary devices used for holding a work-piece are clamps. Withstanding the primary cutting force is the job of the locators and not the job of the clamps. In some applications a single piece part performs the job of both locating and clamping Locating the Work-Piece and clamping In an unconstrained state a solid body has six degrees of freedom made up of three translational and three of rotational movements. Locating is the process of keeping these six dimensional values constant with respect to the work-holding device during machining. Figure 1 (a) Mobility of a Solid Body (b) the Principle Benhabib [2] explains the degrees of freedom and the clamping force required to restrict the motion using a figure, which is reproduced here as Figure 1. He explains the degrees of freedom in Figure 1 (a). Figure 1 (b) explains the utilization six points of constraint using what is known as the rule in the following way: Points 1, 2, and 3 provide a planar constraint: Eliminate two rotational (Rx and Ry ) and one translational (Dz) degrees of freedom. Points (4 and 5): Eliminate one more rotational (Rz) and one more translational (Dx) degree of freedom. Point (6): Eliminate the last translational degree of freedom (Dy). Immobility can be achieved only if the work-piece is pushed against these support points or constraints and held in place by a clamping force. These six points provide

4 the basis for locating and the primary function of any locator is to reference the workpiece and to ensure repeatability. Clamps serve two primary functions (i) hold the work-piece against its locators and (ii) prevent movement of the work-piece. There are several types of clamps such as strap clamps, heel clamps, bridge clamps, edge or side clamp, screw clamp, latch clamp and several others [3 4 5]. In some texts these six degrees of freedom are described as twelve degrees of freedom by considering the positive and negative motions as separate degrees of freedom Work Holding Devices Available for Various Machining Processes Fixturing is a very wide topic and is the specialist area for toolmakers. Literally thousands of different types of designs of work holding devices are available and there are specialist books that archive them. They describe (i) forms of locators (plane, concentric, and radial) (ii) redundancy in locating and (iii) benefits to be incorporated (easy and quick loading and unloading, prevention of wrong loading of the work-piece, easy flow of chips etc.). They are categorized into sub-groups based on several different criteria. For example there are work holding devices for lathe operations (chucks, face plate, driving plate, carriers, rests), various milling fixtures and drill jigs of various kinds. The most widely used general-purpose work holding device is the vise for drills and mills and the self-centering chuck for the lathes. Then there are indexing devices that can be used for linear indexing and rotary indexing. Traditional machining practices have given rise to several ingenious designs for work holding and mastery of the subject requires dedicated, on the subject training of several months. Research in Fixturing has resulted in the development of Flexible Fixturing Systems or FFSs that permits the building of fixtures for any specific application, and modular systems are quite popular. In such systems the fixture can be built using standard component blocks and base blocks with holes or groves. Another major development is the Computer Aided Systems for fixture designs. These are outside the scope of this project Design Procedure Fixtures are designed to hold, locate and support the part during a machining operation. Other considerations for fixture design for specific parts and processes are cost, production capabilities, production processing, and tool life [6]. Quality, rate and accuracy need to be weighed against increased costs for fixture design and its manufacture. The manufacturing process used can significantly affect fixture design and in a similar fashion part handling can significantly affect fixture design. Generally a single setting or handling, for the entire manufacture is desired. Several guidelines and factors to be considered have been outlined in literature [4, 5, 6, 7]. The five-stepped procedure explained by Pachbhai1 and Raut [5] is described here. Step1: Define requirements - This involves the description of the work piece and the process plan including the machines involved. Step 2: Gather/Analyze Information - This involves the component design, process details, machine details, availability of equipment and personnel. Step 3: Develop several options - Generally a work piece can be held and machined in several different ways. They should be considered now. Step 4: Choose the best option This involves the choice of the best option for the

5 given circumstances. Step 5: Implementation Use of standard components, use of pre-finished materials, elimination of finishing operations and keeping tolerances as liberal as practical are guidelines recommended by Pachbhai1 and Raut [5] Planning Work Holding From a use point of view, tool positioning in relation to the work piece, or vice versa is the main function of work holding. This is accomplished by first visualizing the part as a solid object in space and in relation to a coordinate system referred to as the Twelve Degrees of Freedom [8]. In the next step the part is visualized to be held in a setup that guarantees a definite location (or position) and an orientation in space in relation to the part s datum points and/or surfaces. Machining is aimed at material removal to a specified limit or tolerance. The function of work holding is to assist the material removal within this tolerance limit. Tool positioning in relation to the work piece is the mechanism to achieve this and it is commonly referenced from designated alignment or gaging surfaces that are part of, or secured to, the worktable or fixture. An additional requirement is that the setup must ensure easily repeatable part positioning throughout the production run of the same part. Preceding analysis leads to the description of planning work holding as a four stepped process. i. Study the part drawing and plan the raw material and the manufacturing processes. ii. Visualize the work piece as a solid object kept in a desired position for easy access of the tool. iii. Relate the part, with or without an additional special work holding device, to the standard work holding device provided with the machine for each holding. iv. Develop the work holding plan and necessary jigs or fixtures for each holding necessary. Define Requirements: Part drawing, work piece and process plan Visualize the work piece positioning and tool access for each holding Establish the mounting procedure and the requirement of special devices Develop the work holding plan and the special devices needed for each holding Figure 2: A Four Stepped Procedure for Planning Work Holding

6 2.3 Summary of the Literature Review i. The literature defines work holding in manufacturing as the immobilization of the work-piece for the purpose of allowing a fabrication or an assembly process to be carried out on it. ii. Work holding is achieved through locating the work-piece and clamping it. In this context locating is the establishment of a desired relationship between the work-piece and the jig or fixture, which is again appropriately located and fixed with respect to the cutting tool and the machine tool. Similarly clamping is the process of holding the position of the work-piece in the jig or fixture once it is located and the primary devices used for holding a work-piece are clamps. iii. Fixtures are designed to hold, locate and support the part during a machining operation. Fixture Design can be achieved through a five stepped methodology. iv. From a use point of view, tool positioning in relation to the work piece, or vice versa, is the main function of work holding. This leads to the development of a four stepped methodology for Planning Work Holding 3 Learning Outcomes Considering the vastness of the topic and the possibility of having only three lab classes lasting three hours the following are identified as the learning outcomes from this set of learnings. a. Ability to understand the requirement and plan the work piece and its holding in the right position for the given process so that the tool can uniquely reach the point where the cutting operation is needed. b. Ability to use the work holding devices incorporated with the machine (chuck and vise) and to identify the features that could be manufactured with ease with the use of a special jig or fixture. c. Ability to use the indexing head and produce features on the work piece using the milling machine. d. Ability to identify the special requirements on work piece and fixture to produce components using a three axis vertical machining center. e. Ability to plan the process of manufacturing using the standard chuck in a turning center. 4 Learning Activities The choice of a component that can lend itself for manufacture using very basic machining facility as well as modern CNC machining centers was the first task faced in the planning of the learning activities. An additional requirement was the possibility of choice of the appropriate form of raw material from many for the work piece. The chosen component is shown in Figure 3 with a thickness of 10 mm. The work piece can be cut from a shaft of 90 mm diameter or from a plate of 10 mm thickness. Five manufacturing processes were chosen to cover a wide spectrum of employment possibilities for the students when they go out to practice in the field. They are i. Use the marking bench to mark the centers of the small holes and the block. Use lathe and drilling machine for the manufacture. ii. Use a drill jig and a drilling machine with the vise for that purpose. iii. Use an indexing head in a Milling Machine iv. Use a CNC machining center.

7 v. Use a universal turning center. The following sections describe them in detail. Figure 3: A Thrust Plate 4.1 Manufacture using the Marking Bench, Drilling Machine and Lathe In this setting very basic machines and facilities are only available. In the marking bench surface plate, V block, height gauge, a pair of angle plates and a C clamp only are available Defining Requirements With this set up a piece of a shaft is more appropriate as a raw material than a piece of plate and this was discussed with the students. As part of the preparation of the work piece a small length of a shaft of 90 mm diameter was mounted on a self centering chuck and the cylindrical portion was reduced by a little to ensure parallelism with the axis. The cross-section was faced to ensure that it is square to the axis of the shaft. The drilling machine and its vise do not have the capability to point the center of the small holes. Therefore the centers of the 5 mm holes have to be marked to carry out drilling. Once the holes are drilled the outer diameter of the work piece can be reduced to 75 mm and the center hole of 25 mm can be drilled in the lathe before parting off the finished product. Thus the process plan has three holdings. i. Holding in the marking bench Using angular plates, V block and C clamp ii. Holding in the vise of the drilling machine Using the vise of the machine iii. Holding in the chuck Using the 3 jaw, self-centering chuck in the lathe Visualizing the Work Piece Position An adage says that a good carpenter always cuts twice, first in his head and then on the wood. The following description here is the first cut, the cut in the mind or head. For the drilling of the 5 mm holes the work piece has to be held horizontally in the machine vise with the centers of the holes marked for the drill bit to drill the holes at the correct locations. In order to mark the centers fix the work piece in the V block using the C clamp and stand the V block on the angle plates. Call this position A as shown in Figure 4. Now measure the diameter of the work piece with a Vernier and obtain the radius. Now use the height gauge and get the reading at the top most point of the work piece as shown in Figure 4. From this reading take off the size of the

8 radius to find the height of the center. If the height gauge is used to draw a horizontal line on the work piece it will form one diameter. To this reading in the height gauge add 25 sin 45 = 17.7 mm and draw two horizontal line segments as shown in Figure 4 in position A. Draw two similar lines by taking away 25 sin 45 = 17.7 mm from the position of the diameter. Now add 25 mm to the position of the diameter and draw a line and take away 25 mm and draw another line. The surface of the work piece will have line segments like what is shown on the left hand side of Figure 4. Now turn the whole assembly by 90 degrees as shown in Figure 4 in the right hand side and repeat the same process. The piece now has marked with the centers. Now use a center punch to firmly impress the position of the centers. Take the work piece for the second holding in the vise of the drilling machine. After mounting the work piece the vise is positioned such that the marked center is in line with the drill bit. Once aligned the drill can be operated to make the hole to the required depth. The work piece is then taken to the lathe where it is held in the self centering 3 jaw chuck as its third holding. Here the outer diameter is made exactly 75 mm and the inner hole of diameter 25 mm is drilled. The completed work piece is now parted off. Figure 4: Marking off the Centers and Producing the Product Establish the Mounting Procedure and Requirement of Special Devices Having fully visualized the entire manufacturing process and corresponding work holdings the mounting processes and the special devices can easily be established. In this method the required special devices are the marking bench accessories like the V block, C clamp, and angular blocks.

9 4.1.4 Develop the work holding plan and Develop the Special Devices In this step the work holding plan for each required holding is detailed and any required jig or fixture is designed and manufactured. This process gets every thing ready for operation. 4.2 Using the Drill Jig with Drilling Machine and the Lathe In this setting very basic machines and facilities are only available. However resources are available to make a jig Defining Requirements With this set up a piece of a shaft is more appropriate as a raw material than a piece of plate and this was discussed with the students. As part of the preparation of the work piece bars with more than 75 mm diameter should be used to prepare work pieces similar to that shown in Figure 5. This can be done using a lathe machine and the standard 3 jaw self centering chuck. Figure 5: Work Piece after Pre Machining This work piece is clamped inside the jig and locked for drilling the 5 mm holes. Thus the process plan has two holdings. i. Holding in the chuck of the Lathe ii. Holding in the jig which is held in the vise of the drilling machine Visualizing the Work Piece Position Following the same procedure in section this section describes the first cut of the carpenter. The Aluminium bar with greater than 75 mm diameter is mounted in the three jaw chuck and machined to have exactly 75 mm outside diameter. The 25 mm hole is drilled in the same setting or holding and pieces similar to that shown in Figure 5 are cut using the parting tool. Thus the work holding here is achieved using the standard three jaw chuck. Now the piece is transferred for drilling. The drill jig is aimed to lock the work piece in the correct location and guide the drilling tool to the correct positions of the 8 small holes. As shown in Figure 6 it consists of two halves which when assembled together will form a cavity to house the work piece located and clamped. After placing the work piece in the cavity, the upper half is assembled through the bolt heads as shown in Figure 6 (c). It is then twisted to position and the boles are tightened to clamp them together with the work piece. The locked jig is mounted on the vise of the drill for positioning and drilling. This makes the second holding.

In this method the required special device is the drill jig. The drill jig shown in Figure 6 has been designed and manufactured for this purpose Develop the work holding plan and Develop the Special Devices In this step the work holding plan for holding in the lathe and holding in the vise using the jig is detailed. The special task here is to design and make the jig. 4.3 Using a Vertical Milling Machine and an Indexing Head In traditional milling, the use of an indexing head plays an important role. It is used to turn the work piece through the required angle and hold it in position for the cutting tool to effect the cut. The indexing head set to mill the holes is shown in Figure Defining Requirements With this set up a piece of a shaft is more appropriate as a raw material than a piece of

11 plate. As part of the preparation of the work piece bars with more than 75 mm diameter should be turned in the lathe to ensure that the cylindrical part is parallel to the axis and the cross section is faced to ensure that it is normal to the axis. The center of the face is also marked using a 5 mm drill in the tailstock. Having thus prepared the work piece it can be mounted on the indexing head and the 5 mm holes can be drilled in the right positions in the milling machine. After milling, the work piece is taken back to the lathe for turning the outer diameter to 75 mm, the inner hole to 25 mm and parting off the finished piece. Thus the process plan has three holdings. i. Holding in the three jaw chuck for work piece preparation ii. Holding in the indexing head mounted on the milling machine iii. Holding in the chuck for finishing in the lathe Visualizing the Work Piece Position Figure 7: Indexing Head with the Work Piece Following the same procedure in section this section again describes the first cut, the cut in the mind or head. The Aluminium bar with greater than 75 mm diameter is mounted in the three jaw chuck of a lathe and machined to have a true cylindrical surface to its axis. The cross section is faced to have truly normal surface to the axis. Also the center has to be drilled with a 5 mm drill. Thus the work holding here is achieved using the standard three jaw chuck in a lathe. Now the piece is

12 transferred for milling as shown in Figure 7. Here again the work piece is mounted on a three-jaw chuck but the axis of it is vertical. The central axis of the work piece is aligned with the axis of the drilling tool and the Digital Readout, DRO, is set to zero. Now the table of the milling machine is moved towards the column by 25 mm using the DRO. This gives the position of the first 5 mm hole. The cutting of it is made. Then using the handle and give 5 turns to turn the indexing head by 45 degrees. This turns the work piece so that the position of the second hole is under the tool. Now cut the second hole. Continue this process until all 5 mm holes are cut. Now unload the work piece and go back to the lathe and mount the work piece in the three jaw chuck. Cut the external diameter to 75 mm and drill the internal hole to be 25 mm in diameter. Then part off the finished piece from the remaining material Establish the Mounting Procedure and Requirement of Special Devices Having fully visualized the entire manufacturing process and corresponding work holdings the mounting processes and the special devices can easily be established. In this method the required special device is a standard indexing head Develop the work holding plan and Develop the Special Devices In this step the work holding plan for holding in the lathe and holding in the indexing head is detailed. 4.4 Using a Vertical Machining Center with a Special Fixture Figure 8: Machining with the Vertical CNC Machining Center

13 Machining with a vertical machining center has few special conditions. The work piece is machined in a single holding and this demands the work piece to be of the same thickness and surface finish as the finished component. The computer positions the cutter locations to effect the cut. The main alignment is the tool axis and the origin of the machine table. Because of these reasons the plate is the better raw material than the shaft. Also a fixture is needed to mount the work piece on the standard machine vise Defining Requirements With this set up a piece of a plate of the thickness and finish of the finished product is more appropriate as a raw material than a piece of shaft. As part of the preparation of the work piece a rectangular piece of 100 mm 100 mm with four holes in alignment with the four holes in the fixture is prepared. The work piece is shown in Figure 9. This can be done using a shearing machine or saw and drilling machine. Figure 9: Work Piece after Pre Machining Visualizing the Work Piece Position The work piece is made by few shearing operations and a drilling of four holes. Since they are used to clamp the work piece to the fixture they need not be precise. Their locations can be marked by placing it in coincidence with the fixture shown in Figure 8. Once the work piece is clamped, eight point to point operations to drill the 5 mm holes and two contouring operations to cut the inner 25 mm hole and the 75 mm diameter circular profile are needed. It is a single holding and therefore care should be taken to position locating holes and bolts away from cutter path Establish the Mounting Procedure and Requirement of Special Devices In this method purpose built Fixture and CNC machine vise are used for holding work piece. The fixture is shown in Figure Develop the work holding plan and Develop the Special Devices Fixture is designed and manufactured to hold work piece and machine.

14 4.5 Using a Turning Center In Universal turning center it is a single setting to go from raw material to finished part. Manufacturing process plan follows first with 25mm center hole, then the 75mm outer diameter, and finally drilling 5mm holes before parting off to required thickness. Total manufacturing time was about 3min 30sec and the positioning of the holes and other machining are accurate and repeatable. In this method pre set-up and programming have to be made. Figure 10: Work Holding and Tool Magazine in the Turning Centre 5 Learning Experience and Student Feedback This exercise gave the students a wide spectrum of work holding and machining possibilities. The marking bench exposed them to a complex manual process which was the main method until few decades ago. In the next method students learned how the tool was guided by the jig. The succeeding method taught the indexing head and its usage for locating holes at angular positions. In the CNC process they saw the work holding fixtures. The process needed programming outside machining, but once done it can be repeated as many times as necessary. Table 1 shows the advantages and limitations of each method in the entire set. During the three weeks where the students had the lab classes they expressed their satisfaction that they could see and feel the entire spectrum of work holding for different manufacturing processes and how the work holding dictates the material form selection. They also appreciated the benefits tendered by the CNC machines.

In addition they were asked to rate their level of attainment in the five methods of work holding on a 1 to 5 five scale where 1 marks the least and 5 marks the highest. Table 2 shows the scores. The assessment of the report focused on two main aspects (i) ability to understand the requirement and plan the work piece and its holding in the right position for the given process so that the tool can uniquely reach the point where the cutting operation is needed and (ii) Ability to use the work holding devices incorporated with the machine (chuck and vise) and to identify the features that could be manufactured with ease with the use of a special jig or fixture. To assess the first aspect the students were asked to describe how they choose the material form and the factors affecting their

16 choice for each process. To assess the second aspect the students were asked to describe how they decided the benefit of the jig or fixture to enhance the standard work holding devices fitted to the specific machine. On the assessment nine students got A grades and six students got B+ grades. The students rated their level of attainment as part of the submission. Table 2 summarizes their rating. Excepting the indexing method all methods were well rated by the students. This may be attributed to the fact that the work did not show the real benefit and potential of the method. Cutting a gear wheel would have shown the potential of the method. Table 2: The level of Attainment in Process Times Process 1 Process 2 Process 3 Process 4 Process Mean Process Details: 1 Marking bench, drill & Lathe 2 Use of Lathe and Drill Jig 3 Use of the indexing head 4 Fixture and Vertical machining 5 Turning Center 6 Conclusions Work holding is an important part in manufacturing planning and is readily affected by the manufacturing process chosen. It influences the material-form choice and the number of settings required. In order to educate this important activity to the students an exercise that can demonstrate all these aspects was needed. An exercise where the same finished product from different material forms and processes has been developed and used to meet this need. The paper presents this exercise. The exercise showed and demonstrated the inter relationship between manufacturing process, machines used, material form and the work holding methods. The students had a better insight or an accurate and deep understanding, into the implications of the above parameters because of the hands on experience they had in the exercise. The exercise permitted the use of both jig and fixture. It showed them how a simple looking piece part can be a complex product to manufacture because of the work holding involved.
