Machine-tools; for milling by removing metal, knee-type, other than numerically controlled

HS v2022 Code: 845959

About machine-tools; for milling by removing metal, knee-type, other than numerically controlled

HS code 845959 covers a specific type of machine tool used for milling operations in metal fabrication and machining industries. These knee-type milling machines are an essential component of many manufacturing processes, enabling the precise shaping and finishing of metal parts and components. As a non-numerically controlled variant, these machines offer a more manual and customizable approach to milling, making them valuable in job shops, small-scale production, and specialized applications.

Production process

Knee-type milling machines classified under HS code 845959 utilize a vertical milling configuration, where the workpiece is secured to a table that can be adjusted vertically, horizontally, and at an angle. The cutting tool, typically a multi-toothed milling cutter, is mounted on a spindle that rotates at high speeds to remove material from the workpiece. Operators manually control the movement of the table and the depth of cut, allowing for greater flexibility and customization in the milling process compared to numerically controlled machines.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of HS code 845959 machine tools include high-quality steel and other metal alloys for the machine's structural components, precision-engineered bearings and gears for smooth operation, and specialized cutting tools designed for milling operations. Additionally, these machines require a reliable power source, such as electric motors, and a range of supporting equipment like coolant systems and tool changers to ensure efficient and effective milling processes.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 845959 machine tools is the production of custom-made metal parts and components for a wide range of industries, including 842240 Machinery, plant or laboratory equipment, 848180 Taps, cocks, valves and similar appliances, and 848320 Bearing housings, incorporating ball or roller bearings. These milling machines are often used in the fabrication of machinery, automotive parts, aerospace components, and other industrial products that require precise and intricate shaping of metal materials.
