Siemens Digital Native CNC System Sinumerik One Launches Innovative Features and Comprehensive Services
• Sinumerik One sets a new standard for productivity with its new hardware platform and innovative features
• Digital service products help machine tool users and manufacturers create digital twins for virtual commissioning
• Sinumerik One participated in the 2019 Hannover Messe with more than 20 test users
At the 2019 Hannover Messe, Siemens showcased its latest generation CNC system, Sinumerik One. As a "digital native" CNC system, Sinumerik One is a key product driving the digital transformation of the machine tool industry, featuring multifunctional software to create corresponding digital twins for seamless interaction between virtual and real environments. With its new hardware platform, Sinumerik One sets a new standard in productivity. Its rich innovative features further improve machining speed, contour machining accuracy, and machining quality.
Sinumerik One's Top Speed function can significantly increase the machining speed of machine tools, even reaching their physical limits. In mold production, the Top Speed function works in conjunction with the mature Top Surface feature to ensure both machining efficiency and precision. When DYNPREC (dynamic precision) is activated through high-speed tuning cycles, it achieves extreme high precision in fine details. The Intelligent Load Control (ILC) function helps improve the dynamic performance of the machine tool by dynamically adjusting axis control based on the current workpiece weight during axis acceleration (rather than the maximum workpiece weight). Using the Intelligent Dynamic Control (IDC) function, dynamic and control parameters of machine tool axes can be balanced across axes, optimizing parameters within the machine's working area to achieve better dynamic performance and higher precision. Siemens' proven Sinumerik 840-D sl CNC system also supports new functions such as IDC and ILC, which greatly benefit further improvements in machining speed, precision, and accuracy.
In addition to Sinumerik One, Siemens also exhibited related digital services aimed at helping machine tool users and manufacturers create digital twins for virtual machine tool commissioning. Through digital twins, non-productive activities such as testing new NC programs can be shifted to virtual environments. The NX Virtual Machine Tool service assists machine tool manufacturers and operators in creating digital twins. Siemens offers comprehensive services covering the entire lifecycle of machine tool digital twins, from engineering and implementation to training and support. The Sinumerik One virtual commissioning service helps machine tool manufacturers perform machine tool commissioning in a virtual environment. Thanks to Siemens' one-stop service covering consulting, training, and implementation, manufacturers can achieve fast, risk-free commissioning and efficient process optimization.
Sinumerik One is engineered based on the efficient TIA Portal engineering platform, combining advanced programming languages and seamless data flow to configure PLCs, safety solutions, and HMIs, significantly shortening product development time and accelerating time to market.
At the exhibition, more than 20 pilot customers showcased machine tools equipped with Sinumerik One and their digital twins, allowing visitors to experience firsthand the tangible value Sinumerik One and its digital twins bring to users.
