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

HS code 846249 covers a range of machine-tools used for punching, notching, or nibbling flat metal products. These machines play a crucial role in the metalworking industry, enabling the precise shaping and modification of metal components. They are widely used in the manufacturing of various metal parts and products, contributing to the overall efficiency and productivity of the broader industrial sector.

Production process

The key production techniques involved in this industry include punching, notching, and nibbling. Punching machines use a punch and die to create holes, slots, or other openings in flat metal workpieces. Notching machines are used to create notches or indentations, while nibbling machines remove small pieces of material in a controlled manner. Many of these machines are designed to perform multiple operations, such as combined punching and shearing, to streamline the metalworking process.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the machines covered under HS code 846249 include high-quality steel for the punch and die components, as well as specialized mechanical and electrical parts such as motors, sensors, and control systems. Manufacturers in this industry also rely on advanced manufacturing technologies, including computer-aided design (CAD) and computer numerical control (CNC) systems, to ensure precision and efficiency in the production process.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is the production of punching, notching, and nibbling machines for working flat metal products. These machines are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 731320 Machinery for working metal, 848180 Taps, cocks, valves and similar appliances, and 870120 (Tractors (other than tractors of heading 8709)), among others. The versatility of these machine-tools makes them an essential component in the manufacturing of a diverse array of metal-based products and components.
