SINUMERIK | Siemens Machine Tool Systems

Strong partner in the world
of machine tools

Digitalization is changing all areas of our lives.
Production and manufacturing companies must
satisfy some essential requirements: shorter market
launch times, higher degree of flexibility, higher
quality and increased efficiency – as well as suitable
and adequate safety measures. Sustainable com­petitiveness will only be able to be achieved by
taking a holistic approach, which encompasses
and digitizes the complete value-added chain. The
Digital Enterprise Portfolio combines automation
with all of the advantages provided by digital data.

Future of the machine tool industry

In close cooperation with machine builders,
we want to successfully shape the future of
the machine tool industry and master the
next phase of the digital transformation.
Trends and developments in the IT environ­ment – such as artificial intelligence, machine
learning and digital marketplaces as well as
new forms of collaboration represent new
impetus and change workflows in industrial
landscapes.

The benefits of the digital twin

The digital twin simulates and optimizes all
areas of the value-added chain: Product, pro­duction and performance. This is the next
step in the digital transformation for machine
builders and users – allowing them to reach
the next level of productivity.

Productivity benchmark

This is why a SINUMERIK CNC is the first
choice when new, revolutionary machine
concepts must be implemented – and if
the absolute maximum productivity is
demanded for a machine tool application.
Siemens Machine Tool Systems – with the
power of innovation of a unique and experi­enced development team in the market – is
there to ensure that also in the future highly
productive machine concepts can be imple­mented based on SINUMERIK CNCs.

SINUMERIK 808 –

outstanding performance, simply intelligent

SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED brings impetus into basic turning and milling machines.
CNC technology from the global leader – teamed-up with a revolutionary operating concept
– make the SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED the perfect entry point into the world of CNC.

Compact and rugged

Thanks to a panel-based CNC design with few interfaces
and an operator panel with IP65 degree of protection,
SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED is the perfect answer for
applications in harsh environmental conditions. The
small dimensions of these units allow them to be used
in compact machines.

Optimized for basic turning and milling applications

As a result of its technology-specific versions, the
SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED control is perfectly precon­figured for milling and turning. The range of applications
addressed extends from basic, standard milling machines or
simple machining centers through cycle-controlled lathes
up to basic full CNC lathes. Based on its hardware and soft­ware expansions, SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED offers suf­ficient performance for moldmaking and toolmaking for
basic milling functions.

Ideal for entry-level machine operators

Based on the standard SINUMERIK operating and pro­gramming philosophy, SINUMERIK 808D ADVANCED is
the optimum partner when entering the world of CNC.
Commissioning is also explained interactively in a graphic
form.
