SINUMERIK ONE is setting standards in machining speed and quality. The CNC system maximizes the productivity of machine tools through top PLC and CNC performance. The integrated SIMATIC S7-1500F PLC delivers up to 10 times faster PLC cycle times than its predecessor. SINUMERIK ONE makes machine tools more productive, and thus faster, more flexible, and more efficient.

Speed is becoming a crucial factor throughout the product lifecycle of a machine and therefore in the engineering process as well. SINUMERIK ONE helps optimize engineering processes based on consistent, end-to-end workflows, thanks to complete integration into the TIA Portal. This saves time and money.

The data from the TIA Portal provides the basis for the digital twin of the automation system: Create MyVirtual Machine. This digital twin makes it possible to engineer the machine even before the real-life prototypes are available. This means that tasks can be transferred from the real world to the virtual environment, which significantly shortens the time to market. It fundamentally changes the way we work.

Run MyVirtual Machine, the digital twin of the machining process, optimizes the machine tool's capacity utilization, thus minimizing unproductive times at the machine and consistently moving them to the work preparation phase. This creates room for new approaches. With the right business model, the digital twin can also help generate new business for all aspects of the machine tool. 

How do machines with SINUMERIK ONE significantly and sustainably increase the productivity of the production environment? And further, how do machines with SINUMERIK ONE help machine tool users to be well prepared for the requirements of the future?

SINUMERIK ONE offers the choice between control cabinet-based NCUs and panel-based variants (PPU). In the PPU (Panel Processing Unit), the operating unit and controller merge into one component. SINUMERIK ONE thus offers an integrated system concept for compact and modular machines. That means more flexibility in machine design.

Modern operation of the machine is easily possible with SINUMERIK ONE: High-resolution multi-touch operator panels offer maximum ease of use. SINUMERIK Powerride supports the run-in of the workpiece in the shortest possible time directly on the machine. And with the HT 10 hand-held terminal, the machine can be operated consistently in SINUMERIK Operate even on the mobile device.  

SINUMERIK ONE produces a significant improvement in performance as far as idle times are concerned. The powerful, integrated SIMATIC S7-1500F PLC significantly reduces process idle times, e.g. for changing tools on the machines. These all add up to significant potential time savings during processing. The result is increased productivity on the shop floor.

SINUMERIK ONE convinces on the shop floor with its modern usability and smooth operation. With SINUMERIK ONE, SINUMERIK Operate comes in a new and contemporary style. Camera applications are easy to integrate when SINUMERIK Operate is used with Display Manager. And the view of PDFs with table of contents makes it easier for machine users to utilize PDF files.

The proven Top Surface mold making function has now been expanded to include Top Speed for maximum surface quality in the shortest possible machining time. With Top Speed, SINUMERIK ONE achieves high contour fidelity even at high traversing speeds on the path. This allows faster machining of free-form surfaces with the same surface quality.

Communication around machine tools is becoming more and more important. On the one hand, to supply the machine tool with orders. On the other hand, to retrieve information about the status and performance of the machine. This requires not only high-performance, but also secure communication channels. With OPC UA 3.0, SINUMERIK ONE supports the current and now widely used standard for vertical Ethernet communication in industrial plants.

SINUMERIK ONE is ideally equipped for consistency in all areas: As a multi-technology CNC, it is the ideal control system for operating different CNC technologies: From turning, milling and multitasking to additive manufacturing, all combined in one control. The integrated SIMATIC S7-1500F PLC also forms the bridge between CNC production and automation - machine tools and automation can thus be uniformly configured and easily combined.
