tunnuslevy
Tunnuslevy, often translated as "identifier plate" or "nameplate," is a thin metal plate affixed to a machine, piece of equipment, or product. Its primary purpose is to display essential information about the item. This information typically includes the manufacturer's name and address, the model number, a serial number, and sometimes technical specifications such as voltage, power consumption, or production date. Tunnuslevyt are crucial for identification, maintenance, warranty claims, and inventory management. They are typically made of durable materials like aluminum, brass, or stainless steel to withstand environmental conditions and wear. The manufacturing process often involves stamping, engraving, or etching the details onto the plate. In modern manufacturing, data matrix codes or QR codes are sometimes incorporated onto tunnuslevyt to allow for quick electronic data retrieval. The presence and legibility of a tunnuslevy are often a regulatory requirement for many types of machinery and products to ensure safety and traceability.
