CNC Laser Cutting Machine
A CNC laser cutting machine uses a high-powered laser beam to melt and vaporize metal, producing precise shapes in sheets without traditional material removal via cutting tools. It falls under this tariff item as a machine-tool for working metal without removing material, as the process relies on thermal deformation and vaporization rather than mechanical cutting.
Electromagnetic Crimping Machine
An electromagnetic crimping machine uses electromagnetic pulses to deform metal connectors onto wires or tubes without removing material. This process falls under this tariff item as a machine-tool for working metal by deformation, specifically through electromagnetic forming, which is a non-traditional metalworking method.
Explosive Metal Forming Machine
An explosive metal forming machine uses controlled explosions to shape metal through shockwave deformation, without removing material. This specialized equipment falls under this tariff item as an 'other' machine-tool for working metal without removing material, as it employs unconventional deformation techniques.
Hydraulic Metal Folding Press Brake
A hydraulic metal folding press brake bends and folds sheet metal into precise angles without removing material. This machine falls under this tariff item as a machine-tool for working metal by deformation, specifically folding, which is a common metalworking process.
Hydraulic Metal Swaging Machine
