Lathes; for removing metal, numerically controlled, other than horizontal lathes

HS v2022 Code: 845891

About lathes; for removing metal, numerically controlled, other than horizontal lathes

HS code 845891 covers numerically controlled lathes, excluding horizontal lathes, used for the removal of metal. These specialized machine tools play a crucial role in the manufacturing industry, enabling the precise and efficient shaping of metal components for a wide range of applications. As a key part of the metalworking machinery sector, this industry contributes significantly to the overall economic output and supports the production of essential goods across various industries.

Production process

Numerically controlled lathes operate using computer-controlled programs to automate the machining process. The workpiece is securely mounted on the lathe's spindle, and the cutting tool is precisely maneuvered to remove material from the rotating workpiece. Advanced features such as multi-axis control and tool changers allow for complex, customized part production with minimal human intervention, ensuring high levels of accuracy and consistency.

Production inputs

The production of numerically controlled lathes requires a range of inputs, including high-quality steel and other metal alloys for the lathe components, specialized cutting tools, and advanced control systems and software. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled technicians and engineers to design, manufacture, and maintain these sophisticated machine tools.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is the numerically controlled lathes, which are then utilized by a variety of other manufacturing sectors, such as 845811 Lathes for removing metal, horizontal type, 845819 Lathes for removing metal, other than horizontal type, and 846120 Milling machines, knee-type, numerically controlled, to produce a wide range of metal components and parts for end-use products.
