Overview
(continued)
Programming has never been so easy
The SINUMERIK Operate user interface offers many new, high-
performance functions. This means that machining step and
high-level language programming can be combined under a
single system user interface, allowing for very fast, rational and
intuitive NC programming and work preparation.
Fast and flexible
G code programming functions with cycle support have been
combined in programGUIDE. ProgramGUIDE ensures maximum
flexibility and short machining times and is ideal for applications
with medium to large batch sizes. SINUMERIK also supports ISO
code programming. The ShopMill and ShopTurn machining step
programming systems are tailored to the production of single
parts and small batch sizes, in other words, they are ideal for
shop floor manufacturing.
Support for manufacturing technologies
Cost-effective production methods and innovative CNC solu-
tions are required to produce complex workpieces. The
SINUMERIK 840D sl CNC supports multi-technology machines
for machining workpieces in a single clamping process and of-
fers innovative functions for this purpose – even where the oper-
ation requires switchover between different technologies such
as mill-turning and turn-milling. The innovative SINUMERIK
Operate user interface provides integrated turning functions for
milling applications and integrated milling functions for turning
applications, augmented with innovative measuring cycles in
the Animated Element design. The usability and look and feel of
the interface are always identical with every application.
