Difference between jig and fixture in tooling?

About-heading

Jig

A jig is a type of tool used in manufacturing to guide, control, or hold a workpiece in a specific position or orientation during machining or assembly operations. Jigs are typically employed in repetitive manufacturing processes where precise positioning or alignment is crucial to ensure consistent and accurate results. They aid in reducing errors and enhancing efficiency by offering a standardised setup for recurring tasks.

Fixture

Similar to a jig, a fixture is a tool utilised in manufacturing to hold, support, or locate a workpiece during machining or assembly operations. However, fixtures are primarily engineered to securely secure the workpiece in place, often utilising clamps, bolts, or other fastening mechanisms. Fixtures are commonly utilised in machining operations such as milling, drilling, or grinding to securely hold the workpiece while it undergoes various machining processes.
