Introduction to SINUMERIK Programming
This document serves as the "Fundamentals" Programming Manual for the Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl and 828D CNC systems. It is designed for skilled machine operators and project engineers, providing essential knowledge for developing, writing, testing, and debugging NC programs and user interfaces.
The manual details the fundamental principles of NC programming, covering geometrical concepts, program structure, motion commands, tool management, and control system functionalities.
Key Topics Covered
- Fundamental Geometrical Principles: Workpiece positions, coordinate systems (MCS, BCS, WCS), zero points, and working planes.
- Fundamental Principles of NC Programming: Program structure, blocks, commands (DIN 66025), high-level language elements, and program execution rules.
- Creating an NC Program: Step-by-step procedures, available characters, program headers, and practical examples for turning and milling.
- Tool Management: Tool changes (with and without tool management), tool offsets (length, radius), tool types, and compensation memory.
- Motion Control: Spindle motion (speed, direction), feed control (rates, overrides, optimization), positioning axes, and spindle positioning.
- Geometry Settings: Settable zero offsets and working plane selections.
- Supplementary Information: Other relevant details, tables, and appendices.
