vaihtotyökalut
Vaihtotyökalut, a Finnish term translating to "interchangeable tools" or "tool changers," refers to a system that allows for the rapid and automated exchange of tools on a machine tool. This technology is crucial in modern manufacturing, particularly in automated production environments like those found in automotive or aerospace industries. The primary benefit of a vaihtotyökalu system is increased machine utilization and flexibility. Instead of a machine sitting idle during manual tool changes, an automated system can switch between different tools in a matter of seconds or minutes, significantly reducing non-productive time.
These systems typically involve a mechanism on the machine tool's spindle that can grip and release various
Variations in vaihtotyökalu systems exist, including pallet changers for workpieces, which can also be considered a
