Overview
SINUMERIK Operate – perfect for all programming tasks
With various programming methods, SINUMERIK supports all worldwide promoted CNC programming methods – from single part
production to mass production.
For mass production ...
Shortest machining times for mass production combined with
the greatest degree of flexibility for special applications:
SINUMERIK CNCs make this possible with advanced CNC
programming with high-level language elements. With
programGUIDE, SINUMERIK CNC programs can be easily
combined with powerful technology and measuring cycles.
Even classic ISO codes can be programmed. This makes
SINUMERIK especially attractive to operators who prefer this
classic type of program.
... and small series
The programming times is a crucial productivity factor for small
series and single parts. ShopMill and ShopTurn machining step
programming is unbeatable in these fields. Processes such as
drilling, centering, plunging and pocket milling are represented
as machining steps. In this way, CNC programs are extremely
compact and easily read, even for complex machining opera-
tions. All geometric elements in a CNC program are shown to
scale thanks to the dynamic broken-line graphics, the only one
of its kind on the market.
Process safety through CNC simulation
SINUMERIK CNC simulation guarantees maximum process
safety by using the real geometries of the loaded tools. Of course
the simulation displays an exact image of the desired machining –
not just brilliant 3D representations. SINUMERIK CNC simulation
simulates every type of machining, such as face and cylinder
surfaces, swiveled workpiece planes or even machining in multi-
ple machining channels. Even very large part programs can be
displayed on screen within seconds with the Quickview for mold-
making.
