SINUMERIK ONE
The digital native CNC
With SINUMERIK ONE, Siemens has created the first CNC control system worldwide, which was developed from the ground up to master the challenges of digital transformation in the machine tool industry. This results in a paradigm change: The digital twin becomes an integral component of the control
system and the command variable for taking real action. Machining processes and machine behavior
can be simulated in detail in conditions close to those met in reality.
Maximize productivity
SINUMERIK ONE offers future-proof, state-of-the-art hardware and software platforms, which form the basis to
massively boost machine and machining performance.
Especially in the mold making domain - a process that is
extremely demanding - productivity has been boosted by
up to a double-digit percentage. Tasks such as collision
monitoring that take up a lot of CPU time can now be executed during machining without any restrictions.
Innovate faster
With SINUMERIK ONE virtual processes and digital twins
become the basis for taking real action. Based on the

12
CNC portfolio | SINUMERIK
Excite digitalization
For the first time, SINUMERIK ONE is offering machine users
a true and consequential "Digital first" strategy. This means
that central processes in the production landscape (such as
programming, production planning and process optimization) are always simulated at the digital twin, providing a
detailed virtual image of the control system and machining
process. There, where previously these processes were performed at the machine, non-productive times have been
eliminated through virtualization and work executed offline
outside the actual production environment. This boosts
productivity.
Discover a new way of thinking
Can a part be produced at all? And if yes, how long will it
take? The digital twin responds to questions such as these
quickly and precisely. Production engineers check the suitability of the machine using the Run MyVirtual Machine
application. The program runtime for the workpiece is also
precisely calculated. These calculations are performed at a
PC in the office, remote from the production environment.
The digital twin makes it all possible in the first place –
faster communications with customers regarding pricing
and schedules, more precise planning, including production
planning – even with decreasing batch sizes and an increasing range of variants to be produced.

CNC performance | SINUMERIK
Always achieve the maximum CNC performance
Productivity. Precision. Availability. These are the decisive drivers in the
machine tool market. Packed with special functions, SINUMERIK controls
precisely satisfy these requirements – helping to accomplish a high CNC
performance.
Wide ranging possibilities to
achieve high productivity
Robot integration, intelligent motion control as well as
continuous optimization are the relevant buzz words when
it comes to leveraging the wide-ranging possibilities of
boosting productivity.
All the facets of robot integration
The demand for automation solutions for machine tools
teamed up with high precision industrial robots is increasing
at a rapid pace. This applies equally to handling – as well
as high-precision and complex machining tasks. With
SINUMERIK, Siemens has a CNC system for robot integration:
From a simple connection via the user-friendly integration
for handling tasks – up to the complete integration of robot
kinematics in a system.
Optimum machining speed and quality
With the combination of the Top Surface and Top Speed
functions, SINUMERIK offers optimum path planning and
speed control for milling applications – providing the highest surface quality and machining speed.
Continuous optimization
Maximum machine dynamic performance is achieved by
automatically optimizing machine parameters as a function
of the load and axis positions using the Intelligent Load
Control and Intelligent Dynamic Control functions. As a
consequence, the best machining result is achieved for any
workpiece weight and at any position in the machining area
of the machine tool. The result – shorter machining times
and a higher machining quality.
23
SINUMERIK | CNC performance
Precision in the production landscape
The high degree of precision achieved using SINUMERIK
also comes from functions such as its 80-bit NANO computation accuracy. This is supplemented by innovative software-based compensation of various mechanical effects.
Precision
SINUMERIK CNCs and SINAMICS drives compute with
high-performance 80-bit NANO accuracy. This eliminates
rounding errors and results in an extremely high internal
computational accuracy in the complete controller circuit.
Nodding compensation
Nodding compensation is used to compensate dynamic position deviations that occur when machine axes accelerate.
This improves machining quality, and at the same time,
allows higher jerk and acceleration values to be reached.
Friction compensation
Friction-related path errors are even more effectively eliminated by compensating the effects of friction as a function of the velocity. This allows a consistently high contour
accuracy and workpiece precision to be achieved.
Volumetric compensation (VCS)
VCS allows geometrical deviations of linear and rotary axes
to be compensated regarding how they influence the tool
center point – directly resulting in higher machining precision.
Increasing the availability
High availability of machine tools is achieved through
collision avoidance and condition monitoring.
Collision avoidance
SINUMERIK collision avoidance functions offer extensive
collision protection for the machine, the workpiece,
clamping equipment and the tool. Using SINUMERIK Edge,
collision monitoring functionality can be shifted out, so
that the full SINUMERIK system performance can be
utilized.
Condition monitoring
SINUMERIK condition monitoring status information is
captured using machine fingerprints and the machine
condition evaluated. This allows valid statements to be
directly made about the machine quality and possible
hidden problems and issues.
24
CNC performance | SINUMERIK
Increasing security
Protecting intellectual know-how in the user program and
protecting against malware are two essential aspects when
it comes to the system integrity of SINUMERIK.
Know-how protection
Using the SINUMERIK Lock MyCycles function, user cycles
are saved to the control system so that they are protected.
Password-protected SIMATIC STEP 7 program blocks safeguard intellectual property and know-how.
Security
PC-based systems and the control level must be protected
against cyber attacks. Antivirus and whitelisting software
protect against manipulation – preventing malware from
influencing PC-based systems.
Optimizing processes using the digital twin
The digital twin plays a decisive role when it comes to optimizing the widest range of processes while the machine is
operational. With different digital twin variants, a range of
tasks can be shifted from the real world into the virtual
world.
Run MyVirtual Machine, the digital twin for machining,
optimizes the utilization levels of machine tools. Unproductive machine periods are reduced to a minimum and consequentially shifted into production planning. This makes
way for new business models.

SINUMERIK | Operation and programming
User-friendly operation
and programming
Operation
A wealth of functions in SINUMERIK Operate ensure a high
degree of operator-friendliness of SINUMERIK controls.
These include state-of-the-art touch and gesture control
as well as working in several panes.
Touch and gesture operation
The SINUMERIK generation of touch panels with projected
capacitive touch technology offers the highest degree of
performance for demanding PC-based visualization tasks.
This comes along with an attractive front panel design. The
scratch-proof, non-reflecting surface with brilliant display
supports operation even in harsh ambient conditions.

effectively used. Customized and flexible machine operation
is facilitated as additional information can be selected and
displayed.
26
Operation and programming | SINUMERIK
Zero points
Integrated measuring cycles ensure high workpiece precision during the machining process. Tool geometries
and work offsets are corrected automatically so that the
required production tolerances are maintained, even for
high batch quantities.
Setting-up
Based on an intelligent JOG mode and intuitive tool
management in SINUMERIK Operate, all of the typical setup
functions can be graphically and interactively supported.
This keeps unproductive times to an absolute minimum.
Measuring
The measurement of tools and workpieces is optimally supported in the intelligent JOG mode: It is sufficient to just
probe an edge, corner or hole to determine the clamping
position, including the basic rotation of the tool – even in
swiveled workpiece planes. The geometry is transferred
into the tool offset memory of the CNC by simply pressing
a button. Logging measurement results is simplified using
standard or user logs.
Tool management
Tool data and magazine location information are clearly
displayed on a screen. Selecting a suitable magazine
location is fully automatic: simply select a tool, press a key
and SINUMERIK CNC does the rest. It goes without saying
that the lifetime of each tool is monitored, and when
required, the appropriate replacement tool is loaded. This
reduces the amount of time required when setting up a
machine tool.
Protection for personnel
The intelligent SINUMERIK Safety Integrated system
functions allow user-friendly operation, with the highest
degree of safety for the operator and the machine itself.
For instance, when setting up the machine with the protective door opened. Users have an integrated F-PLC at their
disposal with SINUMERIK Safety Integrated plus. The safety
relevant logic is programmed in the TIA Portal. When commissioning the SINUMERIK 840D sl, application engineers
can use various innovative functions, for example, the ability to graphically configure safety functions and the transparent diagnostic screen forms. For Safety Integrated and
Safety Integrated plus, once commissioning has been completed, a prompted, partially automated acceptance test
can be performed in SINUMERIK Operate.
27
SINUMERIK | Operation and programming
Programming
SINUMERIK Operate offers the optimum programming for
each and every task: DIN ISO for large series production and
shortest cycle times – as well as graphic programming, so
that individual parts and components can be programmed
even faster.
High-level CNC language
The SINUMERIK high-level language means that the variance
associated with families of parts or special tools can be
simply mastered. The SINUMERIK high-level language
comes into its own precisely where graphic programming,
DIN ISO and cycle programming reach their limits. Quickly
programming workpieces with a wide range of variance
means that the complete range of workpieces can be
flexibly addressed – which is what makes it so unique.
DXF reader
The DXF reader supports the display of the CAD data format
and direct transfer into the CNC program. Programming
times can be slashed by up to 90 percent as the DXF reader
is used to transfer data. DXF files can be directly opened
on the CNC, and transferred to the CNC program with a
simple mouse click. The DXF reader can be called up in the
contour editor, and for positions, can also be called in programGUIDE as well as when programming machining steps
in ShopMill/ShopTurn.
ProgramGUIDE
In programGUIDE, G-code programs can be combined with
powerful SINUMERIK technology and measuring cycles in
a user-friendly fashion. Even classic ISO codes can be programmed. As a result, SINUMERIK is especially attractive
for machine operators who prefer this classic programming
method.
Machining step programming
Machining step programming (ShopMill/ShopTurn) ensures
that demanding and complex parts and components can be
quickly and simply programmed. Using the SINUMERIK contour computer, each contour can be directly entered and
programmed at the machine. This results in maximum productivity when it comes to programming and operating.
Diagnostics
Especially in large series production, machine downtimes
result in enormous production losses. SINUMERIK Operate
offers intelligent diagnostics if problems arise so that
machine operation can be resumed as quickly as possible.
In addition to bus diagnostic tools for drive, peripheral and
network components, there is also a powerful trace function. This is used to trace and troubleshoot NC, PLC and
drive signals

Digitalization | SINUMERIK
On track to achieve higher
productivity with CNC Shopfloor
Management Software
Through digitalization, machine builders and companies operating machines
can respond more flexibly to market demands – and at the same time boost
their productivity.
CNC Shopfloor Management Software specifically addresses the requirements
in the machine tool domain. It facilitates the management, analysis and
optimization of machine tools – independent of the manufacturer of the
control system being used.
Digitalization for
machine builders
Higher engineering productivity
There are two main objectives when it comes to
machine construction. On one hand, a higher
degree of efficiency and flexibility in development, e.g. with consequential virtualization in
the development process. On the other hand,
supplementing portfolios to digitalize the customer production environments – all the way up
to new business models.
The digital twin – end-to-end development
and new business models
The closed-loop engineering allows machine
builders to create a seamless workflow from
the original idea through engineering up to
the virtual commissioning of the machine. As
a potential business model, the virtual image
of the machine can be made available to the
company operating the machine for production planning purposes.

Digitalization for
machine users
Higher productivity in production
Machine tools are intelligently integrated into
production processes. The precondition is that
production planning and production – along
with the various machines – are networked
on three different platforms depending on the
specific requirement. This allows programs
and data to be transferred error-free.
The digital twin in production
Programming and setting up operations are
virtually shifted from the real production environment into the office. The machine does not
have to be at a standstill to identify whether
components can be actually machined. CNC
programs can be tested in advance for potential collision of the tool with clamping equipment or machine parts. CNC programs for new
production orders can be run-in "off-line" as
long as the machine is still in productive operation. Further, new operating personal can be
trained without blocking the machine. Unproductive times at the machine are therefore
reduced to a minimum and consequentially
shifted into production planning. This boosts
the productivity and availability of the real
machine.

CNC Shopfloor Management Software –
ecosystem
A leading-edge IT architecture is created
based on the CNC Shopfloor Management
Software – and more specifically – at three
levels “In Cloud,” “In Line” and “In Machine.”
These levels correspond to the three plat forms – MindSphere, SINUMERIK Integrate
and SINUMERIK Edge with many customized
functions that extend from the field up
into the Cloud.
This is complemented by the opportunity of
creating new business models, in the service
domain, for instance. Leveraging digitalization,
potential for optimization, unknown up until
now can be tapped into so that productivity
and competitiveness can be sustainably
increased.

Digitalization with cloud-based applications –
optimally networked
Cloud-based applications offer all of the advantages when
working with a common database. Intelligent tools network
design, production planning and machine tools across
various sites and locations to create seamless production
processes with the highest degree of effectiveness. Production and machines are continually analyzed. The captured
data is evaluated, creating a high degree of transparency.
This allows potential for optimization, unknown up until
now, to be identified and fully utilized.
SINUMERIK Edge
Capturing, analyzing and processing high-frequency
data close to the machine
SINUMERIK Edge is a reliable and high-performance
hardware and software solution for machine-related use
(Edge computing). This especially allows high-frequency
process data to be processed and analyzed essentially in
realtime in the field while production is running. Using
customized EdgeApps, processes are monitored and optimized.
SINUMERIK Integrate
Wide-ranging applications to optimize availability
and productivity
However, the advantages of a digital landscape can be
utilized even without a connection to the cloud. The
SINUMERIK Integrate platform hosts a wide range of applications that provide functions adapted to engineering and
production, for example, tool and program management.
