Compact, Powerful, Simple

With their unique CNC performance, the SINUMERIK 828D and SINUMERIK 828D BASIC CNCs set benchmarks when it comes to milling and turning on mid-range machines. Siemens premium CNC technology opens up unique possibilities for even more productive workpiece milling and turning. With their outstanding performance, SINUMERIK 828D controls master all of the demands for standard milling and turning machines, and are supplemented by a range of integrated IT solutions.

Complete Range of Machine Tool Applications

The Siemens SINUMERIK 828D Control for Milling/Turning is perfect for Knee/Bed Mills, Boring Mills, Vertical Machining Centers, Routers, VTLs, Lathes, and Grinders. The control system is suitable for any machine that has up to 4 interpolating axes. Servo motors are available up to 170 Nm, which makes the 828D CNC an excellent option for small to the largest size machines.

The Highest 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. Feed forward control ensures that errors are almost completely compensated — and jerk limitation reduces stress on the mechanical system when axes accelerate. Thanks to Dynamic Servo Control, SINAMICS drives offer additional position control — and as an additional feature, disturbance resistance for the machine control.

Maximum Speed

When machining many CNC blocks in the shortest time, for example, free-form surfaces, the machining process itself no longer defines the speed, but the performance of the CNC system. With the Advanced Surface feature, SINUMERIK CNC offers you the ideal solution. Advanced Surface stands for state-of-the-art control algorithms, such as Look Ahead or the dynamic compression of linear and circular blocks in fifth degree polynomials (NURBS). This means that machines equipped with SINUMERIK controls can be operated at their physical limit.

Technology Cycles for every Machining Operation

SINUMERIK controls offer a range of drilling, milling and turning cycles that are absolutely unique in the marketplace — from basic machining operations such as centering, deep-hole drilling, milling circular pockets and turning grooves, up to more complex machining operations such as engraving, deep-hole milling and the trochoidal milling of hard metals. Based upon intelligent kinematic transformations, technology cycles are available at all machining planes. For example, at the face or peripheral surfaces of turned workpieces, or in swiveled planes of milling workpieces.

Conversational Programming

Both ShopMill and ShopTurn machining step programming are unbeatable. Machining operations such as drilling, centering, plunging or pocket milling are shown in the form of machining steps. Even for complicated machining operations, CNC programs are extremely compact and easy to read. Using dynamic broken-line graphics, which are absolutely unique in the market, all of the geometrical elements can be displayed to-scale in the CNC program.

CNC Simulation for reliable/safe processes

SINUMERIK CNC simulation guarantees maximum process reliability and safety as the real geometries of the tools are always used. It goes without saying that the simulation shows the precise image of the required machining operation — not just bright, colorful graphics. Whether face or peripheral surfaces, swiveled workpiece planes or even machining in several channels, SINUMERIK CNC simulation simulates every machining type. With the moldmaking quick view, even very large part programs can be displayed on the screen within seconds.

Control-Only Upgrade

For a fraction of the cost, we can put a NEW Siemens control on your machine, reusing your motors and drives. This control only retrofit provides all of the technological advantages and advanced features of the SINUMERIK 828D control without the heavy cost of replacing your current motors and drives.
