Position determination of workpieces in positioning jigs

The automation of many processes in the industry, production and assembly requires precise knowledge of the framework conditions and required movement sequences. Positioning Jigs are often used for this purpose. The position determination of a component must be clearly defined in the device. The workpiece holder defines the position in order to carry out a repeatable inspection or to receive materials such that they can be produced relative to a home position. Various Positioning Jigs from tool & die making, such as test devices or assembly devices, are used for this purpose.
