About HS Code 846023

This HS code covers numerically controlled cylindrical grinding machines, excluding flat-surface and centerless types. These sophisticated CNC machines are engineered for grinding the external or internal diameters of cylindrical workpieces held between centers, offering exceptional precision and surface finish. They are indispensable for manufacturing critical components such as crankshafts, camshafts, hydraulic cylinders, and precision shafts in the automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery sectors. Trade in these machines is driven by the global demand for high-quality, high-tolerance parts, with advanced manufacturing nations typically exporting to industrial hubs worldwide that require cutting-edge production capabilities.

Products Under This Code

CNC universal cylindrical grinder, CNC external cylindrical grinder, CNC internal cylindrical grinder, CNC angular plunge cylindrical grinder, CNC multi-axis cylindrical grinder

Real World Examples

Studer S33, Kellenberger 100, Schaudt CamGrind, Danobat HG-72, Junker Lean Selection

Common Misclassification

Can be mistaken for 846022 (CNC centerless grinders) if the distinction of workpiece holding (between centers vs. no centers) is not clear, or 846029 (other non-CNC grinding machines) if the CNC capability is missed.
