Machine-tools; for milling by removing metal, not knee-type, other than numerically controlled

HS v2022 Code: 845969

About machine-tools; for milling by removing metal, not knee-type, other than numerically controlled

HS code 845969 covers a range of machine-tools used for milling operations in metal processing industries. These non-numerically controlled milling machines play a crucial role in the manufacturing of various metal components, machinery, and equipment across diverse sectors, including automotive, aerospace, and general engineering. Their ability to precisely shape and finish metal parts makes them an indispensable part of the broader metalworking industry, contributing to the production of a wide array of finished goods that support economic growth and development.

Production process

The primary production technique for machine-tools under HS code 845969 involves the use of rotating cutting tools to remove material from a workpiece, typically a metal blank or casting. These milling machines can perform a variety of operations, such as face milling, end milling, and slot milling, depending on the specific design and configuration of the machine. The workpiece is securely held in place, often using a vise or other clamping mechanism, while the cutting tool is precisely controlled to follow a predetermined path, removing material in a controlled and efficient manner.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the production of machine-tools under HS code 845969 include high-quality steel and other metal alloys for the construction of the machine components, such as the frame, spindle, and cutting tools. Specialized cutting tools, bearings, and other precision mechanical parts are also essential inputs. Additionally, these machines require a reliable power source, often in the form of electric motors, as well as advanced control systems and software to ensure precise and efficient operation.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 845969 is the production of non-numerically controlled milling machines, which are then used in various manufacturing and metalworking processes. These machines are often consumed by industries such as 842240 Machinery; for working metal, sintered metal carbides or cermets, without removing material, 842240 Machinery; for working metal, sintered metal carbides or cermets, without removing material, and 848180 Taps, cocks, valves and similar appliances; for pipes, boiler shells, tanks, vats or the like, including thermostatically controlled valves, among others, where precise metal shaping and finishing are required.
