2. Jig (tool) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jig_(tool)

   An example of a jig is when a key is duplicated; the original is used as a jig so the new key can have the same path as the old one. Since the advent of automation and computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines, jigs are often not required because the tool path is digitally programmed and stored in memory. Jigs may be made for reforming plastics.

3. Fixture (tool) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixture_(tool)

   A common type of fixture, used in materials tensile testing (Grip-Engineering). A fixture is a work-holding or support device used in the manufacturing industry. [1] [2] Fixtures are used to securely locate (position in a specific location or orientation) and support the work, ensuring that all parts produced using the fixture will maintain conformity and interchangeability.

4. Chuck (engineering) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_(engineering)

   A self-centering chuck, also known as a scroll chuck, [2] uses jaws, interconnected via a scroll gear (scroll plate), to hold onto a tool or workpiece. Because they most often have three jaws, the term three-jaw chuck without other qualification is understood by machinists to mean a self-centering three-jaw chuck.

5. Burr (cutter) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burr_(cutter)

   These are often used in CNC machining centers for removing burrs (the small flakes of metal) after a machining process. To achieve optimal surface speed and cutting conditions, burrs are rapidly rotated at high speeds, often in the range of thousands or tens of thousands of RPM , which is typically the maximum speed supported by a given spindle.

6. Direct numerical control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_numerical_control

   Direct numerical control (DNC), also known as distributed numerical control (also DNC), is a common manufacturing term for networking CNC machine tools.On some CNC machine controllers, the available memory is too small to contain the machining program (for example machining complex surfaces), so in this case the program is stored in a separate computer and sent directly to the machine, one ...

7. Tool management - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_management

   In the decades of the 2000s and 2010s, tool management has increasingly moved toward a universal, industry-standard, machine-readable format for encoding tooling information, which makes possible better software, greater automation, and better simulation.
