Machining centres; for working metal

HS v2022 Code: 845710

About machining centres; for working metal

HS code 845710 covers machining centres used for working metal. These highly versatile and automated machine tools are essential components in modern manufacturing processes, enabling efficient and precise metal shaping, cutting, and finishing. They play a crucial role in various industries, from automotive and aerospace to general engineering, contributing to the production of a wide range of metal-based products and components.

Production process

Machining centres operate using a combination of computer numerical control (CNC) technology and advanced tooling systems. They are capable of performing multiple machining operations, such as milling, drilling, tapping, and boring, all within a single setup. The workpiece is securely held in place, and the machine's cutting tools are programmed to follow a predetermined sequence of movements, ensuring high levels of accuracy and repeatability.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the 845710 industry include high-quality metal raw materials, such as steel, aluminum, and various alloys, as well as specialized cutting tools, lubricants, and coolants. Additionally, these machining centres require advanced computer hardware and software, as well as skilled operators and technicians to program and maintain the equipment.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 845710 industry are metal components and parts that are used in a wide range of downstream industries. These may include 871000 Motor vehicles, 880000 Aircraft, spacecraft, and related parts, 842000 Machinery and mechanical appliances, and 731000 Articles of iron or steel, among others. The precision and versatility of machining centres make them essential for the production of high-quality, complex metal parts and assemblies.
