About machine tools; for working any material by removal of material; operated by water-jet cutting machines

HS code 845650 covers a specialized category of machine tools used for working materials through the process of water-jet cutting. These highly precise and versatile machines play a crucial role in various manufacturing industries, enabling the efficient and accurate shaping of a wide range of materials, from metals to composites and even stone. As a key component of modern industrial production, the water-jet cutting machines described by this code contribute significantly to the global economy by facilitating the creation of complex and intricate products across diverse sectors.

Production process

Water-jet cutting machines operate by using a high-pressure stream of water, often mixed with an abrasive material, to precisely cut and shape materials. The process involves the water jet being directed through a small nozzle, which can be computer-controlled to follow a predetermined path, allowing for the creation of complex and intricate designs. This technique is particularly advantageous as it can cut through materials without generating heat, minimizing the risk of damage or distortion to the workpiece.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the water-jet cutting machine industry include the machines themselves, which are typically highly specialized and technologically advanced. These machines require a reliable source of high-pressure water, as well as any necessary abrasive materials to be mixed with the water stream. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating and maintaining these sophisticated machines, as well as the availability of a wide range of raw materials, such as metals, composites, and other workpiece materials, to be cut and shaped using the water-jet technology.

Production outputs

The water-jet cutting machines described by HS code 845650 are used to produce a diverse range of products across various industries, including 842139 Filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for gases, 842199 Parts of filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for liquids or gases, 842481 Agricultural or horticultural mechanical appliances for projecting, dispersing or spraying liquids or powders, and 842489 Other agricultural or horticultural mechanical appliances. The precision and versatility of these machines make them valuable tools in the manufacturing of complex components, intricate designs, and specialized products that are in high demand across a wide range of sectors.
