Fabrication is the process of constructing structures and machines from raw metals through various steps including cutting, burning, welding, machining, forming, and assembly. The final product so created could be like machines, tools, hand railings to heavy equipment, etc. There is a long list of products created through industrial fabrication work in India , to name a few - hand tools, cutlery, architectural, hardware manufacturing, wire, and spring manufacturing, screw, nut, and bolt manufacturing; and forging and stamping. Earlier there used to be separate time-taking processes that needed not only time but even a separate set of labor also used to be needed to accomplish tasks. However, now with the help of management and technology it has been brought together and has become a time saving process. Separate vendors for each step are no more needed, all the steps are now performed under a one-stop metal fabrication shop. This way the complicated looking task is accomplished in no t...

In order to understand which is better, it is important to know about CNC machines or the Computer Numerical Control machine. CNC machines basically are used to produce machined parts. With the help of CNC machines precision can be achieved by industries like aerospace, healthcare, military, and many more. Obviously, that is so far unachievable with the manual production or the traditional method based on technical expertise and you know they say “to err is human”. Well, there are numerable differences mentioned few below: 1. Mass Production  With the CNC machine in India, mass production is right a click away. However, the traditional methods are manual and hence require human labor. Automation gives the liberty to produce volumes round the clock which is not the case with the traditional method.  Also, these machines come with an automated cooling system that helps prevent heat damage to the machine. 2. Save labor That’s the beauty of automation it reduces and saves human ef...

CNC means Computer Numerical Control. A CNC machine is the device that is used to automate, control and monitor all the movements of a machine. The machine can be of a different type. It may be a lathe, router, grinder, cutter, or any other type. All these machines can be controlled and monitored with the help of CNC machines. CNC machines in India come with several axes of movements and all these movements can be either rotary or linear. In simple language "CNC machining is a manufacturing process in which there is a pre-programmed computer program that tells the movement of factory machinery and tools. Fundamentally, CNC machining makes it conceivable to pre-program the speed and position of machine instrument capacities and run them using programming, all with little human operators’ contribution. Now the question is, who can use the CNC machine? A CNC machinist who has skills in programming and metalworking can use the CNC machine in a factory. The machinist who is going to o...

Jig and Fixture are two different production tools used in the cutting and machining processes.  Jig It is a work-holding tool that holds, supports, and locates the workpiece and guides the cutting device for a specific operation. An example of a jig tool is when a key is copied, the original key is kept as a jig so the new key can have the same production path as the old one. The Jig Tool guides the cutting or machining tool. The most common type of jig is Drill Jig, which suggests the drill bit for creating holes at desired locations. Drill jigs, woodworking jigs, and welding jigs are also used in various industries quite extensively. Woodworking jigs are useful for creating intricate wooden designs.  Fixture This is a tool that not just holds and supports the workpiece but also ensures its right placement for a precise operation. However, it does not provide any guidance in cutting device.  A fixture tool's primary goal is to locate and hold a workpiece during a machin...

There are some machine operations that are easy, simple, and can be completed without much tension. There is no specific tool or device without which, that job won’t be completed. However, in some operations of the mechanical field, there are tools as well as devices required. Without these, not much of the work can be done and results cannot be obtained. Hence, the device that guides the tool for working is known as a jig. However, the device that is used for holding the thing in the correct position is known as a fixture. These are well used for the good functioning of the CNC die-making machines as well. There are many different uses of jigs as well as fixtures. This is because they are helpful in making a more rapid as well as accurate manufacturing. The cost of manufacturing is much less and affordable when done with jigs and fixtures. Many of the uses are stated below. They help in reducing the production cost because there is an elimination of the unused work as well as tool se...

Jig and fixtures commonly called together have a small difference but large in their combined applications.  Jigs A jig is a work-holding device that holds, supports, and locates the workpiece and guides the one or more tools to perform a specific operation. In other words, this can also be defined as something that is used for holding the tools and also guiding the cutting tools. repeatability, accuracy, and interchangeability in the manufacturing of products are the main purpose of a jig. Certain points you should know about jigs are: Until a large operation has to be performed jigs are not fixed to the machine table. Processes like drilling, tapping, and reaming, etc. those are uni-dimensional machining processes that generally require jigs.  Light and a complex shape is what jigs appear. Jigs are expensive. Gauge blocks are not necessary. Fixtures Very similar to Jigs, fixtures are also the work holding devices, which hold, support, and locate the workpiece but not guides ...

CNC milling machines are nothing but cutting tools. These are programmed and managed by Computer Numerical Control (CNC) systems. They accurately remove materials from a workpiece. Using a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software, the end result which is a specific part or product is achieved. Design of CNC Milling Machines A main spindle and three-linear –axes are the components of CNC milling machines. The three-linear-axes are required to position or move the part to be machined. More precise shapes are formed with the help of 4th or 5th rotational axis which is part of advanced forms of milling machines. Also, when varying dimensions and sizes are to be machined these advanced versions are used. Working principle of CNC machines Its working principle is very simple and easy to understand. The milling process involves securing a piece of pre-shaped material (also known as the workpiece) to a fixture attached to a platform in the milling machine. A rapidly rotating tool remove small chip...
