Sinumerik is the first German brand for CNC controls .

Company and brand

Sinumerik is a trademark of Siemens AG . This CNC is used as a control for different machine tools of the technologies milling , turning , grinding , nibbling , punching , handling, sheet metal forming, gear machining etc.

history

This article or section consists mainly of lists, which should be replaced by running text . Please help Wikipedia improve this. More about is here to find.

  • 1960–1964: The first industry-standard NC ( Numerical Control ) from Siemens comes onto the market. This NC is based on relay technology, masters point and line control and supports analog absolute value encoders.
  • 1964 The Siemens NC receives the brand name Sinumerik.
  • 1965–1972: Over the course of several generations, path controls based on transistor technology are developed and used in the machining technologies of turning , milling , grinding and nibbling .
  • 1973–1981: The minicomputers and then the microprocessors are used in Sinumerik. The PLC ( programmable logic controller ) is integrated into the controller. From 1973 the control system was called: Sinumerik 500C, 1976: Sinumerik System 7, 1979: Sinumerik System 8 (multi-channel, with PLC), Sinumerik Primo (compact design), 1981: Sinumerik System 3.
  • 1982–1983: The first CNC machine with monitor, graphic functions and electronic gear
  • 1984–1994: Siemens first disclosed the NC kernel at the beginning of the 80s. With the PC integration in the control, the human-machine communication ( HMI ) is also exposed. Siemens is thus initiating a decisive trend in machine tools: openness. Since then, the machine manufacturer has considerably expanded options for customizing his machine. The first controllers in this family were the Sinumerik 810T / M and 820T / M, later the Sinumerik 805, 850, and 880 were added.
  • 1994–1996: The Simodrive frequency converters receive a digital interface that allows better motion control. In 1994 the Sinumerik 840D came out with an integrated Simatic S7-300 PLC and the Simodrive 611D servo converter for the upper performance range. The Sinumerik 810D and 802D later supplemented the lower performance range.
  • 1996–2000: Safety functions ( Safety Integrated ) for man and machine were integrated into software. The graphic workshop-oriented programming interfaces ShopMill and ShopTurn enable quick and easy operation and programming with little training.
  • 2001–2004: Innovative services to increase the productivity and profitability of machine tools are offered. Examples of such services are simulations of machines and machining processes, web-based condition monitoring, and cross-manufacturer platforms for online diagnostic maintenance and service.
  • 2005: With the introduction of the Sinumerik Solution Line CNC series and the newly developed Sinamics frequency converter, Siemens unified all the interfaces of a CNC for the first time on the basis of the industrial Ethernet / Profinet standard. This standardization of the interfaces makes it easier for the operator to integrate machines in machine groups. On the other hand, it also supports the simple modularization of machines and the individual combination of machining centers from series modules. The controls are now called Sinumerik 840D sl and 802D sl.
  • 2009: The Sinumerik Operate software combines programming in accordance with DIN 66025 and workshop programming (ShopMill and ShopTurn) in the same user interface.
  • 2009: Compact CNC in technological design for turning and milling machines with up to 8 axes - Sinumerik 828D
  • 2011: Bundling of the competence around the energy efficiency of the machine tools - Sinumerik Ctrl-Energy
  • 2012: Technological entry-level CNC for lathes and milling machines with up to 3 axes - Sinumerik 808D as the successor system to Sinumerik 802D sl.
  • 2019: SINUMERIK ONE - The digital native CNC. Pioneer for the digital transformation of the machine tool industry
  • 2019: SINUMERIK MC - Market launch of a new CNC series with integrated Simatic S7-1500 PLC and Windows 10 operating system for wood, glass and stone processing machines
