Overview
CNC user interface
The modern SINUMERIK Operate operating software is a
technology-neutral, multi-channel operating software for:
•
Machine operation
• Programming
• Diagnostics
• Startup
It permits user-friendly, practice-oriented operation of the
machine, from production to the workshop.
Programming of the part programs is optimally supported by a
modern text editor with integrated ProgramGUIDE with Animated
Elements. The integrated powerful contour calculator enables
programming and graphic display of complex workpiece con-
tours. Processes such as drilling, centering, plunging or pocket
milling are represented as machining steps in a simple and clear
manner. Part programs can be rapidly checked using the 2D/3D
simulation for turning and milling.
The user interface can be modified or redesigned easily.
