Lathes; for removing metal, horizontal, numerically controlled

hs code 845811 covers horizontal, numerically controlled lathes used for the removal of metal. These specialized machine tools play a crucial role in the manufacturing sector, enabling the precise and efficient shaping of metal components for a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, and general engineering. As a key part of the metalworking machinery industry, the production and use of these lathes contribute significantly to the overall economic output and technological advancement of the global economy.

Horizontal, numerically controlled lathes operate using a computer-controlled system that precisely guides the movement of the cutting tool relative to the workpiece. This allows for the creation of complex, intricate shapes and profiles with a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. The production process typically involves loading the raw metal stock, programming the desired machining operations, and monitoring the automated cutting and shaping process to ensure quality and efficiency.

The primary inputs for the production of hs code 845811 lathes include high-quality steel or other metal alloys for the construction of the lathe components, as well as advanced electronic and software systems for the numerical control functionality. Additionally, specialized cutting tools, lubricants, and other consumables are required to support the machining operations. The manufacturing of these lathes also relies on a skilled workforce capable of designing, assembling, and maintaining the complex machinery.

The primary output of hs code 845811 is the horizontal, numerically controlled lathes themselves, which are then consumed by various manufacturing industries, such as 841210 Machinery for working metal, 870000 Vehicles, and 880000 Aircraft, spacecraft, and parts thereof, where they are used to produce a wide range of metal components and parts. The precision and efficiency of these lathes contribute to the overall quality and performance of the final products in these industries.
