Koneerimine

Koneerimine is a metalworking process used to shape materials through the removal of chips. It involves using cutting tools to pare away excess material from a workpiece, thereby achieving precise dimensions and smooth surface finishes. This technique is fundamental in manufacturing, enabling the creation of complex and intricate components for a wide range of industries.

The process of koneerimine can be performed using various machines, each suited for different tasks. Lathes are commonly used for rotating the workpiece while a stationary tool cuts it, ideal for creating cylindrical or conical shapes. Milling machines utilize rotating cutting tools to remove material from a stationary workpiece, allowing for the creation of flat surfaces, slots, and complex contours. Drilling machines are specifically designed to create holes. Grinding machines use abrasive wheels to remove material, often for achieving very fine finishes or shaping hardened materials.

The selection of appropriate cutting tools, speeds, and feed rates is crucial for effective koneerimine. These parameters depend on the material being worked, the desired geometry, and the type of machine used. Proper cooling and lubrication are also essential to prevent tool wear, reduce friction, and improve the surface quality of the workpiece. Koneerimine is a versatile and essential manufacturing process that underpins much of modern industrial production.
