This makes CNC programs extremely compact and easily readable – even with complex machining operations. This unique programming comfort ensures minimized programming times and correspondingly maximized machining productivity.

Interlinking of worksteps

Thanks to automatic interlinking, position patterns only have to be entered once for machining sequence such as centering, deep-hole drilling and tapping. SINUMERIK 828D BASIC M derives the optimum machining sequence from this interlinking. This not only facilitates clear structures, but also saves valuable programming time. Moreover, interlinking is also helpful for machining continuation from a specific interruption point. Simply place the cursor on the position pattern, enter the workstep and position number and get going.

Dynamic broken-line graphics

Thanks to the dynamic broken-line graphics, all geometric elements are represented in the CNC program true to scale. The broken-line graphics automatically adjust to the geometric properties throughout the entire pro-gramming process. Also changed or added elements are immediately dis-played – without simulation. Of course, CNC simulation is also available in ShopMill workstep programming. Yet, this is only required at the very end, when optimum process stability is ensured.

When it comes to the production of small-scale series or individual parts, programming time represents the key factor for

productivity. This is the very element of SINUMERIK 828D BASIC M. With ShopMill workstep programming, SINUMERIK 828D
