Lathes; for removing metal, horizontal, numerically controlled

HS code 845811 covers horizontal, numerically controlled lathes used for the removal of metal. These specialized machine tools play a crucial role in the metalworking industry, enabling the precise shaping and finishing of a wide range of metal components. As a key part of the broader 84 Machinery, mechanical appliances, nuclear reactors, boilers; parts thereof sector, the production and use of these lathes contribute significantly to the global manufacturing economy.

Horizontal, numerically controlled lathes operate using advanced computer-controlled systems to automate the turning and shaping of metal workpieces. The workpiece is securely mounted on the lathe's spindle, and a cutting tool is precisely guided along the material to remove excess metal and create the desired shape. The numerical control system allows for highly accurate and repeatable machining operations, enabling the production of complex, high-precision components.

The production of HS code 845811 lathes requires a range of specialized inputs, including high-quality steel and other metal alloys for the lathe's structural components, as well as advanced electronic and software systems to power the numerical control functionality. Additionally, these lathes rely on specialized cutting tools, bearings, and other precision mechanical parts to ensure smooth and accurate operation.

Lathes classified under HS code 845811 are used to manufacture a diverse array of metal components, from automotive parts and aerospace components to industrial machinery and consumer products. The output of these lathes may be consumed by industries covered by codes such as 87 Vehicles; other than railway or tramway rolling stock, and parts and accessories thereof, 84 Machinery, mechanical appliances, nuclear reactors, boilers; parts thereof, and 85 Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles.
