The Sinumerik 840D sl is a universal and flexible CNC system. The Sinumerik 840D sl offers a wide range of functions. It is ideally suited for applications using the most diverse technologies. The Sinumerik 840D sl sets new standards with regard to dynamics, precision and ease of integration into networks.

With the Sinumerik 840D sl you profite from

• Utmost performance and flexibility
• System-wide openness
• Highly effective protection against personal injury and damage to the machine

Sinumerik & the digital process-assistent EMCONNECT

• EMCONNECT included in the standard machine with Siemens 840D sl
• With just one click you can switch between emcoNNECT and the NC control
• Full screen or sidebar mode

Highlights:

• Free contour programming
• Fast datum-setting process with touch probes
• Tilting the working plane
• Cylindrical surface machining
• 3-D tool compensation
• Fast execution through short block processing times

EMCONNECT facilitates easy access to digital production – all important information and systems are accessed centrally on the machine.  The familiar NC control and hence the familiar operation of the machine remain unchanged.
A clear and compact overview of the machine state, the machine data and the operating mode is available at a glance thanks to the emcoNNECT Dashboard.  The hardware basis of the EMCONNECT control centre is a 22“ multi-touch display teamed with an industrial PC and a keyboard including HMI hotkeys for easy and intuitive operation via a user interface optimised for touchscreen use.

Included as standard equipment in the Siemens machine version (Siemens 840D sl).
 

ESPRIT Applications:

• Complete CNC programming for up to 22-axis turning
• Turning/milling for single-spindle lathes
• Turning/milling for multi-carriage turning centers
• Turning/milling for multi-tasking machine tools including B axis

Simulations:

• Dry runs in dynamic volume view
• Shaded in the entire working environment: Machine tool, clamping devices, blank and workpiece
• Extensive collision detection: Tool, blank, workpiece clamping devices and target/actual workpiece comparison

Using CPS the result is 100 % production reliability, up to 80 % shorter set-up times and an enormous increase in productivity and operating efficiency.

• 100 % identical behavior of machine and PC
• Collision monitoring for clamps, parts, tools, tool holders and machine components
• Collisions can be completely eliminated before they even happen
• The machine's productivity is maximized
• Perfect tuning of both tooling systems
• Resimulation and optimization of existing NC programs
• Fewer rejects
• Ideal for internal machining and operator training courses (no machine downtimes!)
• Very little training required, as identical with the machine's user interface
