'Jig' - what does it mean?
Hi guys,
I'm translating a piece of manual from English to Polish and it's about special equipment used for galvanization and I can't seem to figure out the meaning of "JIG". What I understand from different contexts found on the Internet, it's a device used for collecting all the materials that are to be galvanized together before putting them into a zinc bath but I can't be sure.
Please take a look at the contexts provided and if you understand the term, please describe the meaning of it to me and possibly suggest a synonym, so I can work out its Polish equivalent. Thank you so much in advance.
It functions both as a noun and as a verb, as you can see:
(here, the term is repeated a couple of time but I don't understand much).
- 'Fabricated black steel is transported to a jiigging area where steel is hooked on to a jig.'
- ''Two suspended monorails with hoists pick up the jigged steel and take it through the sequence of degreasing, rinsing, fluxing, pickling and rinsing. The monorails have sensors to track distance and sense the position of the jigs for lifting and dropping them into the pre-treatment tanks.'
- 'After pre-treatment, the jigged material is moved into a dryer using PLC controls with the help of a third monorail. After drying, the doors of the galvanizing enclosure open and the monorail moves in with the jigged steel. The doors then close and steel is dipped into the furnace containing high purity molten zinc for a pre-defined process time.
The exit door of the galvanizing enclosure opens up to allow the monorail to move the galvanized steel out. Finally, the galvanized jigged material is moved through to the post-treatment processes like quenching, dulling and passivation.'

A jig is a fixture used in manufacturing to hold a part or several parts in a particular orientatilon so another operation may be preformed. Such as a welding "jig" which holds several parts in the proper relationship so they may be welded together. Or a machining "jig" holds a part in a certain orientation for a machining operation.

Thank you. That's really helpful.
So if you were to use another term to illustrate the meaning to someone would you say it's kind of a 'holder', 'guide', or something else?
