About machine-tools; broaching machines, working by removing metal, sintered metal carbides or cermets

hs code 846130 covers a range of machine-tools used for broaching operations, which involve the removal of metal, sintered metal carbides, or cermets. These specialized machines play a crucial role in the manufacturing industry, enabling the precise shaping and finishing of complex components across various sectors, from automotive and aerospace to industrial machinery and beyond. As a key part of the metalworking and fabrication ecosystem, the 846130 industry contributes significantly to the global economy.

Production process

Broaching machines function by using a series of cutting teeth arranged in a linear pattern to remove material from a workpiece in a single, continuous motion. This process allows for the efficient creation of intricate internal and external profiles, keyways, splines, and other specialized features. The workpiece is typically clamped in place, and the broaching tool is then drawn or pushed through the material, shaving off layers with each pass. Precision and control are critical, as broaching operations require careful tool selection, setup, and monitoring to ensure consistent, high-quality results.

Production inputs

The 846130 industry relies on a range of inputs, including high-quality steel and other metal alloys for the broaching tools themselves, as well as specialized cutting fluids, lubricants, and coolants to facilitate the broaching process and extend tool life. Additionally, these machines require robust, precision-engineered components, such as motors, gearboxes, and control systems, to ensure smooth, accurate operation. The availability of skilled technicians and engineers to maintain and operate the broaching machines is also a crucial input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 846130 industry is the broaching machines themselves, which are then used by a wide range of manufacturing sectors to shape and finish their products. Some of the key industries that consume the output of 846130 include 841340 Metalworking machine tools, 870000 Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling-stock, and 880000 Aircraft, spacecraft, and parts thereof. These broaching machines enable the production of intricate components, gears, and other critical parts that are essential to the functioning of a diverse array of end-use products.
