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.

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.
