It is also referred to as an auxiliary tool. For example, when trying to screw a workpiece with a contoured shape on a flat workbench, it becomes challenging to firmly hold the workpiece. In such cases, using a jig stabilizes the workpiece, making the task easier.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">Jigs not only stabilize the workpiece but also serve various roles, such as ensuring consistent quality and expediting the work process.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">There are broadly two types of jigs: variously shaped jigs used in processing lines, and jigs used to fix workpieces during machining. Since jigs are custom-made to suit the item being processed and the nature of the processing, they are not mass-produced. Typically, technicians from the production engineering department or specialized jig manufacturers create them one by one to match their specific applications.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f44c238 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f44c238\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0d5825 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c0d5825\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Jigs Used in Manual Operations<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-665c282 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"665c282\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">Jigs used in processing lines include mainly the following:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul style=\"list-style-type: circle;\"><li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">Stabilizers for holding the workpiece in place during processing and measurement by operators or machines.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">Devices for positioning parts during tasks like adhesion.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">Guides for inserting other components or tools, functioning like a mold during insertion.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">Masking devices to prevent contamination of other areas during processes such as painting or sealing.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><div><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18.6667px;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14pt;\">These jigs come in various materials and shapes depending on the usage and purpose.

On the other hand, for demanding conditions such as high temperatures or heavy loads, jigs like quenching fixtures are made from robust metals.
