masintöötlemine

Masintöötlemine, also known as machining, is a manufacturing process that involves removing material from a workpiece to shape it into a desired form. This is typically achieved using machine tools that employ cutting tools to cut away excess material. The primary goal of masintöötlemine is to achieve precise dimensions and surface finishes on manufactured parts.

Common masintöötlemine processes include turning, milling, drilling, and grinding. Turning uses a rotating workpiece and a stationary cutting tool to create cylindrical shapes. Milling employs a rotating cutting tool to remove material from a stationary workpiece, allowing for the creation of complex shapes and contours. Drilling is used to create holes, while grinding utilizes abrasive wheels to achieve very fine surface finishes and precise dimensions.

The materials commonly processed through masintöötlemine include metals such as steel, aluminum, and brass, as well as plastics and composites. The accuracy and quality of the finished product depend on several factors, including the type of machine tool used, the cutting tool material and geometry, cutting speeds and feeds, and the cooling and lubrication methods employed. Masintöötlemine is a fundamental process in many industries, including automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing, enabling the production of a vast array of components and products.
