ABSTRACT

A jig is a special class of fixture, which in addition to provide all the functions like guides the cutting tool during machining. It is mainly used in batch production. The jigs are used to drill to defined coordinate locations and design is custom-tailored. Drilling radial holes in pipes need little care to locate the exact centre. In this project, the newly designed jig named " Trunnion Drill Jig" is capable of accommodating pipes in location, hold and also capable of drilling radial holes at right angles.

We would like to thank the Dean of College Dr. Khalid Abdulaziz Khalid Ambusaidi, Ph.D and the Head of Engineering Department .Faris S Al-Naimy Ph.D., who have facilitated components, time, and place to complete the project neatly and nicely. They have been important source of inspiration throughout the completion of this project. We take this opportunity to thank Mr. Dhanaraj R the supervisor of this project for his constant involvement, thought provoking discussions, and his readiness for extending all of help during the execution of this project work. Without his active and full hearted support this project would not have taken this shape today. He had been constant source of inspiration for the completion of this project. He stood like a wall for every problem we faced and taught us how to face challenges in field. Our thanks to Mr.Roberto Villeagas , Engineering Department for all help they provided as providing components, machining facilities, and fabrication. We thank all our Teachers and Technicians who helped us directly and indirectly towards the completion of this project successfully. Dr
