With SINUMERIK Integrate for engineering Lock MyCycles, cycles can be encrypted and then saved in the CNC where they are protected. Execution in the CNC is possible without restrictions, but it is not possible to view the cycle. This protects the internal company know-how. The cycle can, however, be copied in encrypted form. It can, therefore, be used on other machines. However, it is also possible to link the cycle permanently to a specific CNC hardware.
