CNC System Platform Line

By Bramlet, Christina R

Compatible with the existing Sinumerik family, Siemens’ Sinumerik solution line of CNC system platforms is comprised of the panel- based 802D si, the PC-based 840Di sl and the 840D sl, which is available as panel- and PC-based versions.

The network-centric architecture can be combined with Sinamics, a newly-developed drive technology from the company that is appropriate for stand-alone use or for plantwide automation. Standard Ethernet and Profibus protocols are used for machine tool communication.

According to the company, the line offers users an open system architecture (HMI/NC Kernel), advanced communication protocols, a modular design for saving space and scalable hardware and software options.
