Tool making and mold making
How to get things in shape
Only those who know what is required in practice can develop custom-made products and systems to meet a wide variety of requirements. Siemens is able to offer innovative and industry-specific control solutions for all types of tool making and mold making applications under the slogan "Productivity in Motion". Speed, precision and perfect surface quality without the need for time-consuming remachining are the main aims in tool making and mold making.
High-speed cutting (HSC) is a particularly powerful technology to solve challenging and complex production tasks.
Siemens automation technology has defined an entirely new vision for CNC technology. The control provides all the prerequisites for the highly-productive tool- and mold-making industry. These include:
- High-speed machining Look ahead
- Following-error-free traversing with feedforward control
- Acceleration with jerk limitation
- NURBS interpolation
- State-of-the-art 5-axis functions proven in practice
- Active vibration damping
- Compensation of mechanical errors
- CAD-CAM integration
- Integration of internal measuring systems
- Extensive safety routines
- Optimum overall solution with SINAMICS S120 drive system
Fit for all sectors thanks to SINUMERIK & SINAMICS
- Automotive industry
- Die manufacture
- Aviation and space travel
- Consumer goods industry
- Power engineering
In addition to these, Siemens Motion Control systems are also proving their excellence in other key sectors, such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, process engineering, medical engineering, and materials handling.
SINUMERIK solution line & SINAMICS
The complete range for all requirements
For simple turning and milling applications and highly complex tasks alike: SINUMERIK solution line and SINAMICS can provide a new system platform encompassing a variety of products, thereby offering perfect solutions for all types of requirements.
SINUMERIK solution line and SINAMICS, the system solution offering flexibility like never before:
- Decentralized and simplified system structure via Ethernet and PROFIBUS
- Scalable in respect of hardware and software
With SINUMERIK solution line, hardware and software can be scaled separately. - Optimized network capability
SINUMERIK solution line's standard communication solution is Ethernet-based. - Openness of user interface and CNC
SINUMERIK solution line's openness in respect of HMI and NCK sets it apart. - Ease of migration
For user interface, CNC or PLC: To a large extend the application software of the predecessor system can be transferred and used again. Programs, user interface, operator components, motors, tools, and CNC functionality remain identical. - SINAMICS drive system
- Reduced wiring effort
- Space-saving design for a slim control cabinet that is flexible by design
- Error detection via DRIVE-CLiQ right down to component level
