| Summary: | This paper concerns about design of jigs and fixtures which that will be used
in assembly process. The jig is used in timing chain cover assembly process. The
function of jigs is to assemble pin ring, sealant and screw. This project starts from
identifying the requirement of jig by determining the detail function of jigs. A few
conceptual designs are generated and translated into computer drawing in which the
best design will be selected from the concept design and used in this project. Concept
scoring and screening are used in this project to select the best design. Then, the part
is analyzed using finite element analysis software to identify any weak or point of the
jig. In this analysis the part is safe when two of 30N force (force to insert pin ring)
and two of 67.5N (force to clamp the part) was applied at the part. In the design
process, Solidwork is used to draw the jig and fixtures which consist of two stations.
The first station includes the process assembly of pin ring and the second station to
seal the part using a sealant and screw process. In this design, the cylinder was
electro- pneumatic mechanism due to its high clamping force and quick in loading
and unloading process. |
