This project deals with design of jig for drilling component (Rod Guide). The jig is to be designed to increase accuracy, reduce number of part rejected and thereby increase productivity. This paper includes definition of jig, elements of jig, and design procedure of jig. The scope of project is to design a new jig for component named Rod Guide having 3 holes of dia. 2mm at 58 degrees. The current jig of Rod Guide operates manually, there is no proper clamping and locating system provided. Clamping and unclamping of job becomes a time consuming process, thus there is a loss of productivity. Hence in order to eliminate these drawbacks we have to design a new jig. The jig is designed on the basis of space availability. For mass production and interchangeability of drilling components jigs are preferred instead of Fixture because in addition to clamping and locating jig guides the tool.
