koneistuspöydät

Koneistuspöydät, often referred to as machine tables or workholding tables in English, are essential components in machining operations. They serve as the primary surface onto which workpieces are secured and positioned for various machining processes such as milling, drilling, grinding, and turning. The stability and precision of the koneistuspöytä directly influence the accuracy and quality of the finished product.

These tables are typically constructed from rigid and durable materials, commonly cast iron or steel, to withstand the forces generated during machining and to minimize vibration. They often feature a grid of T-slots or threaded holes, allowing for the attachment of a wide variety of workholding devices like vises, clamps, fixtures, and specialized tooling. This modularity ensures that different shapes and sizes of workpieces can be securely held in place.

In many modern CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines, the koneistuspöytä is also capable of precise movement, controlled by the machine's axis system. This allows for automated positioning of the workpiece relative to the cutting tool, enabling complex machining paths and high-precision operations. The accuracy of these movements is critical and is maintained through high-quality linear guides and drive systems.

The flatness and squareness of the koneistuspöytä are paramount for achieving accurate machining results. Regular maintenance and calibration are often necessary to ensure their continued performance. In essence, the koneistuspöytä is the foundation upon which all machining accuracy is built, acting as the interface between the raw material and the cutting tool.
