TIME STUDY ANALYSIS OF LOADING AND UNLOADING OF COMPONENT FROM A CNC FIXTURE

Apoorva M.V., Dr. M. Mohan Ram


Industrial Engineering Terminology defines time study as "a work measurement technique consisting of careful time measurement of the task with a time measuring instrument, adjusted for any observed variance from normal effort or pace and to allow adequate time for such items as foreign elements, unavoidable or machine delays, rest to overcome fatigue, and personal needs.” In machining fixtures, minimizing work piece deformation due to clamping and cutting forces is essential to maintain the machining accuracy. Fixture is required in various industries according to their application. The fixture set up for component is done manually. For that more cycle time required for loading and unloading the material. So, there is need to develop system which can help in improving productivity and time. Fixtures reduce operation time and increases productivity and high quality of operation is possible. The fixture designing and manufacturing is a complex process that demands the knowledge of different areas, such as geometry, tolerances, dimensions, procedures and manufacturing processes.
