Lathes; for removing metal, other than horizontal or numerically controlled lathes
HS v2017 Code: 845899
About lathes; for removing metal, other than horizontal or numerically controlled lathes
hs code 845899 covers a critical segment of the metalworking machinery industry, which plays a vital role in the broader manufacturing sector. These lathes are used to shape and refine metal components, enabling the production of a wide range of industrial and consumer goods. As a key enabler of precision engineering, this industry contributes significantly to the competitiveness and innovation capacity of many downstream industries.
Production process
Lathes covered under hs code 845899 utilize a range of production techniques to remove material from metal workpieces. The workpiece is typically mounted on a rotating spindle, and a cutting tool is moved along the surface to shape the material. This process allows for the creation of cylindrical, conical, and other complex geometries. Operators carefully control the speed, depth of cut, and other parameters to achieve the desired finish and dimensional accuracy.
Production inputs
The production of lathes under hs code 845899 requires a variety of inputs, including high-quality steel for the machine components, specialized cutting tools, and advanced control systems. Manufacturers also rely on precision bearings, gears, and other mechanical parts to ensure the smooth and accurate operation of these machines. Additionally, skilled technicians and engineers are essential for the design, assembly, and maintenance of these specialized metalworking tools.
Production outputs
Lathes classified under hs code 845899 are used to produce a wide range of metal components and parts, which are then consumed by various downstream industries. These outputs may include shafts, gears, engine parts, and other precision-engineered components used in 843120 Machinery for metallurgy, 848310 Transmission shafts and cranks, and 840710 Spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines for vehicles, among others. The versatility and precision of these lathes make them an essential tool for the manufacturing of high-quality, complex metal products.
