Machine-tools; for milling by removing metal, (not knee-type), numerically controlled

HS v2017 Code: 845961

About machine-tools; for milling by removing metal, (not knee-type), numerically controlled

hs code 845961 covers a critical category of machine tools used in metalworking industries. These numerically controlled milling machines play a vital role in the manufacturing of a wide range of metal components, from automotive parts to aerospace equipment. Their ability to precisely remove material through computer-guided milling operations makes them indispensable in modern, high-precision manufacturing processes across numerous sectors of the economy.

Production process

Numerically controlled milling machines function by using computer-controlled motors to move the cutting tool along predetermined paths to remove material from a workpiece. The workpiece is typically secured on a table that can move in multiple axes, allowing the machine to create complex three-dimensional shapes. The cutting tools, which may be made of carbide or other hard materials, are programmed to follow specific machining instructions, enabling the production of intricate parts with a high degree of accuracy and repeatability.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the 845961 (machine-tools; for milling by removing metal, (not knee-type), numerically controlled) industry include the base metal workpieces, cutting tools, and the advanced computer control systems that govern the milling operations. Manufacturers also rely on a range of supporting equipment, such as tool changers, coolant systems, and workpiece clamping devices, to ensure efficient and precise milling processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 845961 (machine-tools; for milling by removing metal, (not knee-type), numerically controlled) industry are the milled metal components and parts that are then used in a wide range of downstream industries. These may include 840120 motor vehicles for the transport of persons , 848620 machine tools for working any material by removal of material, operated by laser or other light or photon beam, ultrasonic, electro-discharge, electro-chemical, electron beam, ionic-beam or plasma arc processes, and 848180 (machinery, plant or laboratory equipment, whether or not electrically heated (excluding furnaces, ovens and other equipment of heading 8514), for the treatment of materials by a process involving a change of temperature such as heating, cooking, roasting, distilling, rectifying, sterilising, pasteurising, steaming, drying, evaporating, vaporising, condensing or cooling, other than machinery or plant of a kind used for domestic purposes; instantaneous or storage water heaters, non-electric).
