SINUMERIK CNC performance —
the machining standard

SINUMERIK CNC controls set standards relating to every aspect of machining performance.

Whether precision and speed, energy efficiency and safety or reduced cycle times —

SINUMERIK sets the pace.

The highest precision

Position Speed Current
control control control SINUMERIK CNC and SINAMICS drives compute with a high-performance
80-bit NANOFP accuracy. This eliminates rounding errors and offers an

extremely high internal computational accuracy in the complete controller
circuit. Further, dynamic pre-control ensures that the following error is

almost completely compensated — and jerk limitation reduces stress on

the mechanical system when axes accelerate. Thanks to Dynamic Servo
Control, SINAMICS drive technology offers additional position control —
and, as another positive feature, noise immunity for the machine control.
X nm

Maximum speed
When machining many CNC blocks in the shortest time, for example, free-
Feed form surfaces, the machining process itself no longer defines the velocity,
but the performance of the CNC. Here, SINUMERIK with the Advanced Sur-
face feature represents the ideal solution: Advanced Surface stands for
state-of-the-art control algorithms, such as Look Ahead or dynamic com-
pression of linear and circular blocks in 5th degree polynomials (NURBS).
N1 N12 This means that machines equipped with SINUMERIK can be operated up
to their physical limit.

The shortest idle times

Especially in large serial production, where the machine is no longer pro-
ductive, idle times represent a critical productivity inhibiting factor. Here,
with its synchronous architecture and intelligent functions, such as syn-
chronized actions and asynchronous sub-programs (ASUPs), SINUMERIK
provides the ideal solution. For example, the loading of equipment can be
implemented without having to make time-consuming modifications to
the PLC adaptation control.

10
Kinematic transformations
When handling complex machine kinematics, SINUMERIK CNC is in its
element — from classic face/peripheral surface transformation for turning
machines up to multi-side machining in swiveled planes. As a result, SINU-
MERIK paves the way for leading-edge machine tool applications.

Energy efficiency with SINUMERIK Ctrl-Energy

Siemens Machine Tool Systems sets the standard when it comes to energy
efficiency in machine tools — SINUMERIK Ctrl-Energy encompasses a wide
range of highly efficient drive/motor components, CNC/drive functions,
software solutions and services. SINUMERIK Ctrl-Energy offers energy-effi-
cient solutions over the complete machine lifecycle — from the design to
operation of the machine. For example, users have intelligent functions at
their fingertips, such as being able to analyze the energy costs associated
with the workpiece: SINUMERIK helps save energy by simply pressing the
shortcut key Ctrl + E.

Protection fof people and the machine with SINUMERIK Safety

Integrated
Siemens Machine Tool Systems is the pioneer when it comes to protecting
both people and the machine. For almost two decades, SINUMERIK Safety
Integrated has set the standard for machine tool safety technology. Here,
intelligent system functions facilitate user-friendly operation of the
machine, for example, machine setup with the protective doors opened.
This provides the highest degree of safety for machine operators and the
machine.

SINUMERIK Operate — the state-of-the-art
operating system for the 21st century

SINUMERIK Operate offers you such an easy-to-use graphical interface, that it sets the standard for efficient

machine tool operation.

www.siemens.com/sinumerik-operate

Interactive input with Animated Elements

With Animated Elements, SINUMERIK Operate makes it very easy to enter
parameters. Animated Elements completely redefine what graphical pro-
gramming and operation really mean — using a unique display with mov-
ing image sequences.

Program Manager for a better overview

SINUMERIK’s Program Manager makes data handling just as easy-to-use as
a PC, where data from various storage media are displayed. A CNC program
can be transferred from the data server to the CNC’s memory by simple
copy and paste. And it becomes even easier — large moldmaking work-
pieces can be executed in the Program Manager, directly via the company
network, USB stick or a Compact Flash (CF) card.

SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate

The SinuTrain training software makes SINUMERIK Operate even closer to
reality on the PC, including the animated machine operator panel. Exper-
tise gained during the training course can be easily transferred into prac-
tice. The powerful tool closely facilitates offline programming at the PC,
and NC programs can be transferred to the CNC directly.

Thanks to SINUMERIK Operate and the original SINUMERIK CNC kernel,

every operation and programming process can be used, and every CNC
program can be executed without restriction.

SINUMERIK Operate —
intuitive handling, faster setup

Based upon intelligent JOG mode and intuitive tool management, SINUMERIK Operate graphically and interac-

tively supports all of the typical setup functions. This makes machine setup quick and easy — while increasing

the machine’s overall productivity.

Intelligent JOG mode

In SINUMERIK Operate, the intelligent JOG mode provides graphical, inter-
active support for all of the typical setup functions for turning and milling
machines. This means that a tool can simply be loaded with just three
clicks. Face turning of a blank or boring soft clamping jaws is directly
achieved in the intelligent JOG mode — without having to generate a part
program — a time-consuming affair. This means that non-productive times
are reduced to an absolute minimum.

Tool and workpiece measurement

Measuring tools and workpieces are optimally supported in the intelligent
JOG mode. It is sufficient to probe an edge, corner or holes in order to
determine the clamping position, including the basic rotation of the tool
— even in swiveled workpiece planes. Tool measurement is also a simple
procedure for SINUMERIK CNC. Regardless of whether the tool geometry is
simply “scratched” or determined using a tool measuring system — by
pressing just one key, the geometry is transferred into the tool offset
memory of the CNC.

Transparent tool management

SINUMERIK offers the perfect command when it comes to tool manage-
ment. Tool information and magazine location are clearly displayed on the
screen. A suitable magazine location is automatically selected simply by
selecting a tool and pressing a key — the SINUMERIK CNC does the rest.

It goes without saying that each tool’s lifetime is monitored, and when
required, the appropriate replacement tool is loaded.

13
SINUMERIK Operate —
perfect for every programming task

With various programming languages, SINUMERIK supports every CNC programming method that is used around

the world — from machining individual parts, up to large serial production.

For large series …

Achieve the shortest machining times for large serial production and with
the highest flexibility for special applications — SINUMERIK CNC makes this
possible with advanced CNC programming based upon high-level language
elements. With programGUIDE, SINUMERIK CNC programs can be easily
combined with high-performance technology and measuring cycles. Even
classic ISO codes can be programmed. As a result, SINUMERIK is especially
attractive for machine operators who prefer this classical method of
programming.

… and small serial production

For small serial production and individual parts, programming time is a
decisive productivity factor — and ShopMill and ShopTurn machining step
programming are unbeatable. Here, CNC operations such as drilling, cen-
tering, plunging and pocket milling are shown in the form of machining
steps. Even for complicated machining operations, CNC programs are
extremely compact and easy-to-read. Using dynamic broken-line graphics,
which are absolutely unique in the market, all of the geometrical elements
can be displayed to scale in the CNC system.

CNC simulation for reliable and safe processes

SINUMERIK CNC simulation guarantees a maximum of process reliability
and safety as the real geometries of the tools are always used. The simula-
tion shows the precise image of the required machining operation.
Whether face and peripheral surfaces or swiveled workpiece planes, the
SINUMERIK CNC simulation function simulates every machining type. Even
very large part programs can be displayed on the screen within seconds
with the fast moldmaking view.

Quick View for moldmaking

Quick View facilitates the visualization of geometries in tool- and mold-
making in the shortest amount of time. Critical areas can be quickly identi-
fied as the actual CAM files are displayed.

14
The finest technology cycle packages —
turning, milling and more

With a powerful technology cycle package for turning and milling, Siemens Machine Tool

Systems proves its technological leadership in CNC technology once again.

Technology cycles for every machining operation

SINUMERIK controls offer a range of drilling, milling and turning cycles that
are absolutely unique in the marketplace —from basic machining opera-
tions such as centering, deep-hole drilling, milling circular pockets or turn-
ing grooves up to more complex machining operations involving engrav-
ing, deep-hole milling and trochoidal milling of hard metals. Based upon
intelligent kinematic transformations, the technology cycles are available
at all machining levels. For example, at face or peripheral surfaces of
turned workpieces, or in swiveled planes of milling workpieces.

Multiple clamping for ShopMill machining step programming

Milling machines become even faster and even more flexible — ShopMill
machining step programs can be automatically compiled for multiple
clamping with reduced tool change operations. CNC programs are auto-
matically generated — and multiple clamping is supported for both identi-
cal and different workpieces.

Solid machining along contours and stock removal with residual

material detection
When you use SINUMERIK CNC, in addition to standard geometries, compli-
cated geometries can be machined without a CAD/CAM system thanks to
the integrated geometry computer and the intelligent stock removal
cycles. The range extends from the contour milling of pockets with a maxi-
mum of twelve islands — up to contour plunging on turning machines —
and all of this with automatic residual material detection. This means that
the ideal tools can be used for every machining segment. The result —
optimal machining quality and significant time-savings.

Measuring cycles for the highest precision

Integrated measuring cycles ensure workpiece precision during the
machining process. Tool geometries and work offsets are corrected auto-
matically, so that the required production tolerances are maintained, even
for high batch quantities. The integrated reporting function ensures that
the workpiece quality is documented.

15
SINUMERIK Operate — everything on board
for optimization and diagnostics

SINUMERIK Operate offers the ideal onboard resources to optimize axes, carry out fault diagnostics and

perform maintenance work and service tasks. External PC-based software tools are not required.

One-click optimization
With its Auto Servo Tuning (AST), SINUMERIK Operate offers fully auto-
matic optimization of control parameters to achieve maximum dynamic
performance and accuracy of the machine axes — onboard and with just
one click. This simplifies commissioning of the machine, and it can be
post-optimized on a regular basis during operation. This ensures maximum
machine precision over its complete service life.

All information onboard

Using context-sensitive graphical onboard help, the SINUMERIK’s technical
documentation can be called up on the CNC screen. As a result, all of the
information in the input fields, CNC language command, as well as system
messages and system parameters, are directly available at the machine
without having to print out manuals. This simplifies operation and pro-
gramming, while making commissioning, diagnostics and maintenance far
more user-friendly and efficient.

Diagnostics
Especially in large serial production, machine failures can result in huge
production losses. SINUMERIK Operate provides intelligent onboard diag-
nostics, so in the case of a problem, the system is up and running again as
quickly as possible. In addition to bus diagnostic tools for drive, peripheral
and network components, there is also a powerful trace function. This is
used to trace and troubleshoot NC, PLC and drive signals.
