ABSTRACT: Fixtures are the work holding devices, to reduce the cost of manufacture in mass production. The main aim of our project is to design and fabricate an assembly fixture for a petrol bracket without error committed for stud assembly. During the assembly of stud in petrol bracket there is a chance of human error which leads to improper screwing of stud which results in loss of time. Thus, we have designed an assembly fixture which eliminates the chance of human error during assembly. Fixtures are mainly designed to save production time and also to ensure the dimensional accuracy and also to facilitate quick and interchangeable assembly during mass production.
