Introduction
SINUMERIK 840D sl – open, flexible, powerful
SINUMERIK 840D sl is an open CNC control for modular pre-
mium machine concepts. With powerful, innovative system func-
tions, the SINUMERIK 840D sl opens up a boundless range of
technologies. SINUMERIK 840D sl is leading the way in exploit-
ing global machining trends, which makes it the preferred CNC
in the industries of the future.
Maximum performance capability
The SINUMERIK 840D sl offers an almost inexhaustible perfor-
mance potential, thanks to its drive-based, high-performance
NCUs (Numerical Control Units) which contain state-of-the-art
multicore processor technology. Up to 93 axes can be controlled
in 30 machining channels in the NCU-Link. Machine concepts
that require fewer axes benefit from the performance capability
of the SINUMERIK 840D sl with its combination of the highest
standard of machining precision and shortest machining times.
Demanding turning and milling applications are part of the
wide range of technologies
Milling and turning at the limit are strengths of the
SINUMERIK 840D sl. The milling range extends from highly pro-
ductive machining centers for manufacturing powertrains in the
automotive industry to highly dynamic 5-axis machining centers
for mold making or in the aviation industry. The turning range
runs from multi-channel, 5-axis turning centers with a B-axis up
to highly productive multispindle applications.
In addition to turning and milling applications, the
SINUMERIK 840D sl opens up an almost boundless range of
other technologies. These include grinding, laser machining,
gear wheel and multitasking machining.
The SINUMERIK 840D sl has a high level of system flexibility,
which makes it the preferred CNC control when it comes to
opening up completely new fields of technology, such as tape
layer applications in composite processing in the aviation
industry.
