Siemens Industry's Sinumerik 840D sl is designed to increase productivity, flexibility and safety in CNC production when manufacturing parts for the aerospace industry.
For the aerospace market, the Sinumerik 840D sl offers CNC technology that is designed to increase machine tool performance and user productivity. The 840D sl is a universal and flexible CNC system based upon the Sinamics S120 drive platform that can be used for up to 31 axes. It is a distributed, scalable, open and inter-connecting system offering a wide range of specialized functions for milling, drilling, turning, grinding, handling and robotics technologies. "It offers users innovative features that increase productivity on the manufacturing floor, especially the challenging aerospace segments of high-speed and 5-axis machining," said a company spokesperson.
For the job shop, the Sinumerik 828D numerical control is suitable for mid-range machine tools. It is designed to address the needs of complex milling and turning machines in the job shop segment by combining CNC, PLC, operator panel and axis control for six CNC measurement circuits into a single operator panel.
The 828D is capable of full graphical, high-level language command and supports ISO programming that is customary in the United States. Programming time can be further reduced for small-batch production with the use of the ShopMill and ShopTurn graphical workstep programming system, while high-level language programming can be used in conjunction with programGuide to reduce programming times for large-scale serial production.
With the introduction of the Sinumerik 828D, extensive online help animations and a new type of input prompting system with moving picture sequences provide the basis for improved user convenience. USB, compact flash (CF) card and Ethernet ports enable high-speed data transfers onto storage media or integration of the control system into corporate networks.
