Abstract

This project is about a development of holding jig that has an ability to hold a workpiece during cutting process. The workpiece that will be cut is belong to DK Composite Sdn Bhd. The workpiece is used as a material to fill an empty space between the aircraft body panel and the inner wall of it. As referred to DK Composite, there is no machine that able to cut the material that has been produced by them. The material has a dimension of 2m x 1m x 0.0254m and it made from polymer foam. So that, a jig need to be develop which is able to cut the required size. To develop this jig, a several steps are needed which are consist of jig design, material and process that involves for fabrication. Hence, after the jig is fabricated, it need to be tested to analyze the performance of the jig to be operated. On the same time, the functionality of the jig and the strength of the structure will be analyzed. To get the analysis on the jig structure, Finite Element Method (FEM) is used to determine the maximum stress and maximum displacement for specific side. The result from the analysis shows that the structure could withstand for load 1000N. Therefore, the jig is assuring to cut the material that is heavy than the polymer foam itself.
