Perfect in all CNC programming styles
Different operators request different CNC programming styles. On one hand, operators still use the ISO-style CNC programming. On the other hand, certain industries, such as the automotive industry or simply operators who need more flexibility and technological features, request a more modern CNC programming language. To address these demands, SINUMERIK 808D/808D ADVANCED features two different styles of CNC programming.
ISO-style CNC programming
SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED offers the common ISO code programming language. This allows operators familiar with other ISO-based CNC systems to quickly make a transition to SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED. In addition to the standard G codes, such as G01, G02, canned cycles like G81 or G74 are also available. If an operator requires more technological features, the standard ISO codes can be mixed with high-level SINUMERIK CNC commands. This makes it easy to explore and understand the wealth of technological features provided by SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED.
SINUMERIK high-level CNC language
In addition to the standard ISO codes, SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED offers the SINUMERIK high-level CNC language, which has established itself around the world. This extends the technological scope as well as the flexibility. In addition to standard G codes, meaningful CNC commands for calculations and coordinate transitions are provided. A wide range of technology cycles is available in the form of program Guide BASIC. Fully graphic input screens perfectly support the entry of technology cycle parameters
Technology cycles for turning
In order to fully leverage the technology of lathes, SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED features a best-in class turning cycle package. A wealth of functions are integrated, such as machining standard contours, grooves and thread undercuts, cutting of various thread types — and even a powerful contour stock removal cycle. These cycles allow the optimum performance to be obtained from turning machines with just a few parameter settings.
Maximum technology and CNC programming support
With a wide range of technology cycles, SINUMERIK 808D/808D ADVANCED offers a best-in-class technological performance. CNC programs can be very efficiently generated thanks to intelligent help features such as a contour computer and powerful CNC program simulation

There is even a machine cycle to support parameter input for high-speed mold & die applications. And the best is yet to come: drilling and milling operations can be linked to a variety of position patterns, and of course, with graphic input screens.
Contour computer
Using an integrated contour computer, even complex contours can be directly created at the CNC without requiring a CAD/CAM system. A pocket calculator is not required since the contour computer calculates partly defined contour elements automatically.The sales wizard supports the machine tool sales by showing a slide show with sales arguments for SINUMERIK CNCs as well as the machine. The operation wizard teaches users how to operate SINUMERIK 808D / 808D ADVANCED with the help of a graphical guide.
Simulation
In order to guarantee maximum process reliability, SINUMERIK 808D / 808D ADVANCED offers a powerful simulation routine. With its ”solid graphics“, the simulation perfectly displays how the blank part is machined and material is removed.
The simulation can be used to check the program prior to and during machining in order to display the tool path when it is difficult to see the machining operation, for example, as a result of coolant or spray mist.
Best-in-class operator support — onboard as well as offline
With a context-sensitive onboard help, SINUMERIK 808D/808D ADVANCED offers a unique feature to learn, explore and simplify state-of-the-art CNC machining operations at the push of a button.
