Items Controlled
a. Turning machines using a single point cutting tool and having all of the following characteristics: a.1. Slide positioning accuracy less (better) than 0.0005 mm per 300 mm of travel; a.2. Bidirectional slide positioning repeatability less (better) than 0.00025 mm per 300 mm of travel; a.3. Spindle "run out" and "camming" less (better) than 0.0004 mm total indicator reading (TIR); a.4. Angular deviation of the slide movement (yaw, pitch and roll) less (better) than 2 seconds of arc, TIR, over full travel;
Export Control Context
Category 2 covers materials processing equipment including machine tools, isostatic presses, and numerically controlled manufacturing equipment. These items have significant dual-use potential for precision manufacturing of weapons components.
