Clamping
Clamping devices should be quick-acting, reliable, and provide adequate clamping force without distorting the workpiece.
Locating
Locating pins and other features should be designed to accurately locate the workpiece in the correct position.
Handling
Jigs and fixtures should be designed to be easy to handle and transport.
Modularity
Consider modular designs that allow for flexibility and quick reconfiguration.
