Channel and Box Jigs
Most expensive and detailed types of
jigs in common use.
These jigs can save countless hours of
machining time and parts handling.
Machine part details on more than
one surface without repositioning the
work in the tool.

Channel Jigs
The simplest and most basic form
of closed jig.
Capable of machining parts on
three surfaces.
Provide better stability and
support for thin parts than do
open jigs.
Generally, the work is mounted
against the top and one side of
the jig while it is clamped from
the other side.

Designing a Channel Jig
The part is a cylindrical ring 120 mm in diameter and
150 mm thick
The part has and 80 mm bored hole and internal
grooves.
The material specified is cast bronze
The production run is 200 pcs
The operation required is drilling six 16 mm
clearance holes through the side and tapping six
M12 x 1.75 mm holes in one end.
The blank received has been bored, faced, and
grooved.

1. Locating The Part
Locating Surface
Relieved locator ->prevent binding
Locator size
o Part : 80 0.1 mm
o Locator : 79.88 0.01 mm

2. Clamping the part
Use a strap clamp
Locator should be 5 to 20 mm shorter than the work
piece
The strap used to clamp should be 10 mm thick to
prevent bending when clamped

Box Jig
Normally made in the form of box or
framework around a part
Capability to machine parts on all
surfaces
Good supports to frail work pieces and
excellent tolerance control.

3. Construction the tool body
The channel used to construct the tool body should
be approximately 15 to 20 mm thick to resist the tool
thrust and maintain the required rigidity
