New mid-range CNC control from Siemens

Siemens now offers the Sinumerik 828D control with version 4.8 of the operating system, which provides a significant increase in hardware and software options for the mid-range CNC machine builder, according to the company.

“Sinumerik 828D is a compact, panel-based CNC, offered in vertical and horizontal models for highly flexible machine design integration, while the resident Siemens technologies of Advanced Surface and Top Surface ensure the optimum surface finishes with 80-bit nano floating point accuracy,” the company said in a statement.

“Also standard on the 828D are the popular Siemens Shop-Mill and Shop-Turn graphical programming with interactive input help through animated elements. Up to 10 axes of motion with two auxiliary axes are possible. Color displays, in sizes 10.4” or 15.4”, and the powerful Simatic S7 PLC are also standard. With three steps in the new software version, depending upon the motion control needed, Siemens is bringing the 828D standard models to a highly competitive price point for the builders of CNC milling, turning and grinding machines.”
