Liebherr LSP 150 Gear Shaper
The Liebherr LSP 150 is a modern gear shaper with integrated measurement for quality control during production of planetary gears. It uses a metal-removal shaping process to cut gear teeth, and its integrated measurement system supports the manufacturing process without changing its primary function. This qualifies it for classification under tariff item 8461.40.00, which covers gear cutting, gear grinding, or gear finishing machines.
