Fit for the future

Thanks to the intelligent JOG mode, all the typical setup functions of machine tools are graphically supported in an interactive manner in SINUMERIK Operate. For example, a workpiece probe can be easily replaced with three mouse clicks only. Following a power failure, the tool can be retracted using the extended Retract function. At the same time, the machining process is continued properly at the point of interruption.

The tool management transparently displays the tool data and magazine location information in one screen. An appropriate magazine location is selected automatically: Select tool, press button – and the SINUMERIK immediately provides a suitable magazine location. The tool life is also monitored, and a suitable replacement tool is loaded when required. This saves time when setting up the machine tool.

With Open Architecture, SINUMERIK provides engineering interfaces which allow to further adjust the CNC equipment to the technological requirements arising on the relevant machine. This ensures a high level of freedom in manufacturing automation.

SINUMERIK supports three different CNC programming methods and fulfils various manufacturing requirements – from the manufacture of single parts through to large series production. This includes ShopMill and ShopTurn work step programming, the  SINUMERIK high-level language as well as DIN-ISO programming.

The open CNC for special technologies

SINUMERIK MC is the open CNC solution designed for easy integration of individual user interfaces for

special machine tool technologies such as sheet metal cutting, laser and water jet cutting and additive manufacturing as well as simple grinding applications.

The entry-level CNC for basic standard machines

SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED  provides intelligent CNC features, such as full, servo-controlled rigid tapping or the switchover between an on-the-fly spindle and a C axis, which enables highly precise and high-speed turning operations.

The compact CNC for standardized machine concepts

SINUMERIK 828 controller is optimally suited for standardized machines, which are manufactured in large volumes, with reduced modularity

The open CNC for modular machine concepts

The SINUMERIK 840D sl convinces with its openness and flexibility. This makes the SINUMERIK 840D sl the ideal CNC for machines whose mechanical configuration shall be individually adjusted to the requirements stated by the individual user.

The next level for the premium class

The future-oriented CNC system for highly productive machine tools is here. With its digital twin, process simulation and testing can be completed in an entirely virtual environment.
