Abstract
In the present work, a reconfigurable leaf drill jig is developed in order to reduce the time for production, accurate and precise drilling operation. The component chosen for our study is clutch-pressure plate made of cast iron material which is being used in the clutch system for manual transmission. At the top of the component 10 circular holes with 36° equi-spaced were designed. C45 steel was chosen to be the jig material due as an alternative to alloy steel.The novelty of this work is that a sliding vee block is used in the base plate to accommodate various sizes of pressure plate. Full jig design assembly along with various parts and exploded view were shown. The workpiece deformation during clamping is estimated using static structural analysis(ANSYS) and is found to be negligible.The sliding Vee block locator and other parts of jig were also subjected to static structural analysis and the design of jig is found to be safe.
