Introduction
SINUMERIK CNC controls
SINUMERIK 828
The right performance for the relevant technology – scalable by selection of appropriate software
The SINUMERIK 828D BASIC and SINUMERIK 828D support
three technology variants:
• Turning
• Milling
• G-Tech
The name of the technology variant is added to the end of the
software designation. The full software designation is formed
in conjunction with the performance variant: SW 2xx Turning
for a lathe. There is no performance variant SW 28x available
for the G-Tech variant – and so there is no software variant
SW 28x G-Tech.
SINUMERIK 828D BASIC and SINUMERIK 828D offer the right
performance level for any compact machine. One of four
different performance variants can be used depending on the
requirements of the application in terms of channels, axis
quantity structures, and the cycle times of the interpolator and
position controller.
The following variants are available:
• SW 24x
• SW 26x
• SW 28x
• SW 28xA
Bundling of software and hardware
The bundling process for software and hardware is completed by selection of a suitable CNC (PPU).
Three vertical PPUs 2x0.3 and two horizontal PPUs 2x1.3 are available for selection.
Example 1:
Software package SW 24x Turning is required for a lathe with
4 axes/spindles. It must then be decided whether the vertical or
horizontal variant of the CNC will be used.
The horizontal variant is the better option for lathes so that
PPU 241.3 is selected for this application example.
Example 2:
Software package SW 26x Milling is required for a milling
machine with 6 axes/spindles. It must then be decided whether
the vertical or horizontal variant of the CNC will be used.
The vertical variant is the better option for milling machines so
that PPU 280.3 is selected for this application example.
