About machine-tools; shearing machines (excluding presses) for flat products, numerically controlled, other than combined punching and shearing machines, for working metal

HS code 846233 covers a critical category of machine tools used in the metalworking industry. These numerically controlled shearing machines play a vital role in the production of a wide range of flat metal products, from automotive parts to construction materials. As a key component of modern manufacturing, this industry contributes significantly to the global economy and supports the development of numerous downstream industries.

Production process

Shearing machines classified under HS 846233 utilize advanced numerical control (NC) technology to precisely cut and shape flat metal workpieces. The production process typically involves loading the raw metal material, programming the machine's cutting parameters, and initiating the automated shearing operation. These machines are capable of performing complex cuts and profiles with a high degree of accuracy and efficiency, making them essential tools for modern metalworking fabrication.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the HS 846233 industry include various types of flat metal stock, such as steel, aluminum, or copper sheets and plates. These raw materials are sourced from 720810 hot-rolled iron or non-alloy steel products and 760612 aluminum plates, sheets, and strip, among other metal production codes. In addition, these shearing machines require specialized software, control systems, and maintenance parts to ensure optimal performance and productivity.

Production outputs

The outputs of the HS 846233 industry are the sheared metal products, which are then used as inputs for a wide range of downstream industries. These include 870321 motor vehicles for the transport of persons, with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine, 730890 structures and parts of structures, of iron or steel, and 842139 filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for gases, among others. The precise and efficient cutting capabilities of these shearing machines make them essential for the fabrication of a diverse array of metal components and structures.
