Jig夹具
A jig is a production device that holds a workpiece in position and guides a tool, such as a drill or tap, to ensure repeatable location during machining or assembly. Work instructions, tooling lists, setup sheets, and quality documents use the term where jigs must be distinguished from fixtures and other workholding equipment, and where workshop naming must remain unambiguous.

Where this term appears
Jig appears in machining setup sheets, assembly work instructions, tooling purchase orders, and training manuals for operators. Translators often encounter it in tables listing jig numbers, locating points, clamping sequence, and tool guide positions, where terminology must match the workshop naming system. Some languages have a single term for both jig and fixture, so source distinction is easy to lose.
Translation checks
A common mistake is using the same translation for jig and fixture, even though a jig often guides the tool while a fixture mainly locates and supports the workpiece. In work instructions, this can lead an operator to select the wrong tooling or clamping method. The error also propagates into bills of materials and setup sheets.
Keep the term aligned across your files
