Thanks to its extended range of functions, the Sinumerik 840D sl from Siemens' Drive Technologies Division further improves the productivity of complex machine applications.
The complete machining functionality, newly integrated into this new CNC control, enables simpler and more cost-effective machining operations in a single work step on multitasking machines such as turning-milling or milling-turning centers. The operator panel of 19'', OP 019, designed for modern touch-sensitive operation, allows functions to be executed even when the operator is wearing work gloves.
The Sinumerik 840D sl platform offers an extensive range of functions for machine tools. This universal control covers a wide range of machining technologies used in metalworking, such as turning, drilling, milling, grinding, laser machining, nibbling and punching, and can also be used on multitasking machines such as turning-milling or milling-turning centers. Whatever the application, Sinumerik delivers maximum productivity, from the simple workshop to industrial mass production, as well as optimal surface quality for mold and tool making.
The resulting simplified ergonomics make handling easier across all technologies and for the 3 programming methods, DIN/ISO, ShopMill/ShopTurn or 2 / 3 high-level language programming with programGUIDE. The tool management system ensures easy handling of all turning and milling tools or ?multi-tools? through a single, standardized user interface. Programming has been extended to include setting and measuring processes for milling and turning tools, as well as turning and milling cycles, including contour programming. Multitasking program simulation also assists the user, which further increases programming efficiency.
Featuring touch-sensitive functions, the new OP019 operator panel for Sinumerik, combined with the new PCU 50.5, allows fast operation via touch-sensitive keys arranged on a large 19-inch glass panel compliant with the IP66 protection standard - even operators wearing gloves can use it.
Another novelty: the large-format LEDs let the operator clearly see that each command has been registered, from any viewing angle. The integrated key lock protects against handling errors. The new OP 019 can display up to 13 axes per channel for a maximum of 4 simultaneous channels. A new, even more efficient variant of the Sinumerik 840D sl is also available, to further increase machining performance. The Sinumerik 840D sl also supports the new features of the Ctrl-Energy efficiency software package as well as the IT functions of the SINUMERIK Integrate modules such as DNC, MDA, etc.
