Työstötarkkuutta

Työstötarkkuutta refers to the precision achieved during a manufacturing or machining process. It quantifies how closely the actual dimensions and form of a manufactured part match its intended design specifications. Higher työstötarkkuutta means the part is made to tighter tolerances, resulting in greater accuracy and interchangeability.

This concept is crucial in many industries, particularly in engineering, automotive, aerospace, and medical device manufacturing. When components require a precise fit or specific functional performance, achieving high työstötarkkuutta is paramount. Deviations from the intended dimensions, even by very small amounts, can lead to malfunctions, reduced efficiency, or premature wear of the parts.

Factors influencing työstötarkkuutta include the type of machinery used, the quality of the cutting tools, the material being worked on, the environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, and the skill of the operator. Advanced manufacturing techniques like CNC machining, grinding, and lapping are often employed to achieve very high levels of precision. Measurement tools such as calipers, micrometers, and coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) are used to verify the achieved työstötarkkuutta.
