Various products, ranging in size from cars to small circuit components, are made through automated procedures in manufacturing facilities. These processes help improve efficiency, save on labor costs, and reduce the occurrences of defective products, improving company growth and product quality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA common feature of automated processes is the need for the item being worked on to be held firmly in place while work is being done on it--\"workholding.\" Workholders help improve the economy of production by creating smooth operational processes and helping to facilitate quick transitions from one work station to another. This simplifies and streamlines the entire mounting parts operation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eManufacturing workholders use many different methods to hold the parts securely, including hydraulic, electric, pneumatic, and mechanical holders, depending on the application. Workholding devices are regularly referred to as \"jigs\" and \"fixtures,\" and are often used interchangeably. A fixture secures the workpiece and allows the tool (but does not guide it) to move relative to the workpiece, while a jig holds and locates the workpiece and actually guides the tool. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWorkholder Devices\u003c\/i\u003e presents the fundamentals of workholders design for machining and welding operations with their relevant applications, so readers can clearly assess the capabilities, limitations, potentials, and competitive aspects of each of these devices. The author shows how dynamic workholders are subject to constant change, improvement, and innovation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eUnique Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains more than 180 illustrations, numerous calculations, tables, and essential appendices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecial attention is paid to modular systems, clamping devices, and clamping force calculation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for students of manufacturing engineering, process engineers, design engineers and drafters, as well as quality control and maintenance and reliability managers and technicians.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVukota Boljanovic, Ph.D., has nearly 50 years of experience in applied engineering in the aircraft and automotive industries, as well as academia.
