New technology functions for the SINUMERIK ONE CNC simplify operation

Siemens has expanded its SINUMERIK ONE "digital native" CNC with the new system software SINUMERIK V6.20.

With the new Y-turning function, it can be used for machines that turn from the Y-axis, enabling up to 3-times the feed rate, the company states. New tool types were created for this purpose and all turning functionalities and cycles were adapted for these tools.

The Advanced Rapid Movement function enables time-optimized movement, which means faster movements take place between machining operations. The part program does not require a change. The function can be implemented in tandem with the machine builder.

With Reduced Dynamic Mode helps reduce wear on the machine and increases its availability. The Numerical Control Kernel function enables the machine tool builder to automatically transfer the machine to reduced operation, if the axis becomes too warm. When the temp stabilizes, the machine can be returned to full load.

New keyboards and Machine Control Panels (MCPs) are now available from 15 to 24 in. to match the HMI design.
