Machine-tools; for working any material by removal of material, operated by ultrasonic processes

HS v2022 Code: 845620

About machine-tools; for working any material by removal of material, operated by ultrasonic processes

HS code 845620 covers a specialized category of machine tools used for working materials through the removal of material, operated by ultrasonic processes. These advanced machine tools play a crucial role in various manufacturing industries, enabling precise and efficient material processing. As a key component of modern industrial production, this industry contributes significantly to the global economy by supporting the fabrication of a wide range of products, from automotive parts to medical devices.

Production process

Ultrasonic machine tools operate by using high-frequency vibrations to remove material from the workpiece. The workpiece is typically held in place by a fixture, and the tool, which is vibrating at ultrasonic frequencies, is brought into contact with the material. The vibrations, combined with the tool's movement, cause the material to be removed in a controlled and precise manner. This process allows for the creation of intricate shapes and features, as well as the ability to work with a variety of materials, including metals, ceramics, and composites.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the ultrasonic machine tool industry include the machine tools themselves, which are typically composed of a vibration-generating system, a tool holder, and a workpiece fixture. Additionally, the industry relies on a steady supply of raw materials, such as metals, ceramics, and composites, as well as cutting fluids and other consumables necessary for the machining process. Skilled operators and technicians are also a critical input, as the operation and maintenance of these specialized machines require specialized knowledge and training.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the ultrasonic machine tool industry are the finished parts and components produced using these advanced machines. These parts may be used in a wide range of industries, including 870323 Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons, 901890 Instruments and appliances used in medical, surgical or veterinary sciences, n.e.c., and 848180 Taps, cocks, valves and similar appliances for pipes, boiler shells, tanks, vats or the like, including pressure-reducing valves and thermostatically controlled valves, among others. The precise and efficient material removal capabilities of ultrasonic machine tools make them essential for the production of high-quality, complex parts across various manufacturing sectors.
