The latest control offers milling operations, a 19'' TFT colour display and 3D-reproduction and programming graphics.
It is particularly suitable for Mill, HSC- and 5 axis operations at machines up to 6 axes.

SINUMERIK 828D: High performance CNC control for ultimate accuracy and machining speed SINUMERIK 828D and SINAMICS drive and motors are perfectly tailored for state of the art milling machines. Powerful CNC-functions combined with a unique 80bit NANOFP Accuracy (80 bit floating point accuracy from the position control to the internal encoder resolution) enable highest work-piece accuracy at a minimum of machining time. With a flexible CNC programming language and the state of the art ShopMill machining step programming, single parts as well as large batch series can be programmed and machined with maximum effectiveness. Due to Advanced Surface, an innovative method of velocity and path control, SINUMERIK 828D also meets the demands of high sophisticated mold & die applications. Source picture and text: Siemens
