New CNC Functions for Turning, Milling

- Automation and Software
Siemens has added three new functions to the Sinumerik Operate graphical user interface. A new program management system, plain text reading in the high-speed setting cycle, and the new retraction function support operators during standardized turning and milling operations using the Sinumerik 828D compact CNC and in high-end applications using the modular Sinumerik 840D sl CNC.
The program manager has been supplemented with a new program management system providing direct access to all connected drives. Users now can work simultaneously on all connected drives and their file structures. In addition, a larger number of different file formats can be displayed than before.
The high-speed setting cycle has been simplified by plain text reading for numerous machining methods. This high-speed setting cycle supports machine tool operators in all tool- and moldmaking applications by transferring the machining tolerance.
In the new version, machining methods such as roughing, prefinishing, and finishing can be output as plain text, and the orientation tolerance can also be entered. Programmers have to specify only a few parameters for this purpose.
The new retraction function now supports users when retracting a tool following an interruption caused, for example, by power failure or NC reset. In jog mode, and in the swiveled machine state with Cycle800 or Traori 5-axis transformation, machining now can be continued from the point of interruption following manual recovery.
