The SinuTrain programming station brings SINUMERIK

Using SINUMERIK Operate and the original SINUMERIK

CNC kernel, operation, programming and even the

execution of machine programs can be achieved

without any restrictions.

5

Can be universally used

The intuitive PC-based SinuTrain solution comprises software that is identical with that

of the control system. This perfectly addresses learning and programming as required in

practice, and supports all of the CNC programming methods established worldwide.

SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate can be individually adapted to the axis configurations of

the real CNC machine (e.g. the machine tool builder can do this)

Flexible: Perfectly tailored packages for training and production planning

Now it’s even easier for shopfloor-oriented companies to benefit from the full

productivity of their manufacturing environment. Thanks to SinuTrain, your people

can use their PC workstation for production planning and preparation of the next

workpiece — without having to interrupt expensive machining operations.

Higher machine availability

Seamless and integrated program and tool management, just like at the actual machine

Integrated into the company network; use of external data storage media (e.g. USB stick)

Generally speaking, the machine tool operator receives a customer order in the form of a

drawing — a DXF or PDF file. This file and the contours to be machined can be easily imported

into SinuTrain by using the integrated DXF reader. They can then be transferred and saved to

a file structure. Any programming work required can now be directly carried out in SinuTrain,

employing the usual SINUMERIK operation and programming workflow.

SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate is a very practical training solution — and this

applies to both beginner and expert machine tool users. Your staff can hone their

operation and programming skills on the innovative SINUMERIK 828D / 840D sl controls

by simply using SinuTrain from the very start.

Simple learning and professional training

Pre-configured SinuTrain machines that can be immediately used

No additional hardware costs

Additional SINUMERIK CNC languages are available

Perfectly prepared for subsequent programming work

With SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate, machine tool users can learn CNC programming

during the training phase — exactly the same as it will be used in operation with

SINUMERIK-controlled machines. Training packages, that are precisely tailored for this

purpose, as well as free-of-charge basic versions, are available to facilitate efficient training

at home — and computer system requirements are generally minimal.

With the basic version, programs of demo machines for 3-axis milling or 2-axis turning can

be transferred to the appropriate machining centers where parts can be machined. This is

also applicable for the full version. At the same time, all SINUMERIK functions, which are
