Technologies
SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate can be used for the following machining technologies:
- Milling
(SinuTrain ShopMill and SinuTrain complete package) - Turning
(SinuTrain ShopTurn and SinuTrain complete package) - Other technologies1) and multi-channel capability
(SinuTrain complete package)
Adaptation to the machine
CNC programs created with SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate can be used on real machines. However, this requires SinuTrain to be adapted to the SINUMERIK configuration of the machine. This adaptation can be made either by the user with the configuration tool or by a Siemens service specialist. To allow operation of a larger array of machinery, several different configurations can be stored in SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate. In order to ensure maximum compatibility with different SINUMERIK software versions on the machine, multiple copies of SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate can be installed in the relevant software versions on one PC.
Accurate simulation of real operator control on the machine
With its fully-fledged, virtual machine control panel, SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate offers functions such as CNC Start, CNC Stop or feedrate and spindle override and can therefore be operated just like a real machine.
Online help
Like a SINUMERIK CNC, SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate also offers a comprehensive online help. In addition, the SinuTrain DVD-ROM includes training manuals for the self-study of SINUMERIK operating and programming procedures.
