Maximum Precision and Accuracy

Siemens SINUMERIK 808D offers a calculation accuracy in the nanometer range – far beyond what even a high-end machine tool can achieve. It also feature an intelligent jerk limitation function. This bellprofile acceleration characteristic not only guarantees smooth path behavior, but also reduces the stress on the mechanical system of the machine. As a result, SINUMERIK 808D guarantees maximum workpiece precision.

Technology Cycles for Turning

For turning a wealth of functions are available, such as machining standard contours, grooves and thread undercuts, cutting of various thread types — and even a powerful contour stock removal cycle. These cycles allow the optimum performance to be obtained from turning machines with just a few parameter settings. 

Operator Friendly CNC Programming

Siemens SINUMERIK 808D offers the common ISO code programming language. This allows operators familiar with other ISO-based CNC systems to quickly make a transition to SINUMERIK 808D. In addition to the standard G codes, such as G01, G02, canned cycles like G81 or G74 are also available. If an operator requires more technological features, the standard ISO codes can be mixed with high-level SINUMERIK CNC commands.

PC-Style File Handling

With SINUMERIK 808D part programs in a linear memory and names in the form of cryptic numbers are thing of the past. Part programs can be allocated meaningful names and the CNC memory can be easily structured by using sub-folders — just the same as for a PC.
