VIII. CONCLUSION-
1. By using this fixture loading time which is reduced which
we can see in an above graph. With the help of this
fixture we can hold nozzles of diameter from 150-200
mm.
2. By using this fixture we can hold the nozzle with high
accuracy and also nozzle is parallel to the bed of lathe
machine.
3. In this fixture only one limitation is that this fixture is
used only on lathe machine for holding long length
nozzles.
