SINUMERIK multitasking – consistent in all details

Multitasking made easy:
The consistency of the CNC functions in the SINUMERIK and the standardized look and feel of the operation and programming with SINUMERIK Operate enable maximum CNC performance and user friendliness for multitasking in turning and milling applications.

The strength of the CNC functions

Intelligent kinematic transformations with a few parameter inputs turn milling machines into specialized turning machines, and turning machines into professional milling machines. Together with other CNC highlights, such as cross-technology tool management or velocity control, this opens up completely new areas of application for CNC manufacturing, from turning on milling machines, to machining free-form surfaces in turning machines.

Integrated operation

The standardized look and feel of SINUMERIK Operate for all machining technologies enables multiple technologies to be brought together in a single machine – naturally with the highest degree of standardization in operation and programming expected from SINUMERIK. The SINUMERIK technology cycles for drilling, milling, turning, and measuring tasks also adapt perfectly to the particular multitasking machine. This produces the maximum standardization of all multitasking jobs on a machine.

Universal CNC programming

Standardized CNC programming tools extending beyond the technology limits ensure efficient CNC programming of multitasking machines: from machining step programming for single parts to multi-channel programming for mass production. A powerful CNC simulation allows cross-technology visualization of the component, and so offers the highest degree of process reliability for all kinematic versions of modern multitasking machines.
