Bring digital twin capabilities to mid-range CNC machining

Digitalization is transforming CNC machining — and the CNC digital twin plays a key role. It enables part manufacturers to simulate, validate and optimize machining processes before the first part is produced.

Until now, these capabilities have mainly been available on high-end CNC systems. With the latest generation of SINUMERIK 828D, digital twin functionality is now available for mid-range CNC machining applications — bringing these advantages to a much broader range of use cases.

From proven CNC to digital twin-enabled system

The SINUMERIK 828D has been a proven system in the mid-range CNC market since 2012.

With the fifth-generation hardware platform and the latest software version, SINUMERIK 828D now supports digital twin workflows. You can now bring your SINUMERIK 828D mill, lathe or grinder directly to your desktop — enabling programming, simulation and validation without relying on the physical machine. Machining processes can be prepared and optimized in a virtual environment before running them on the shopfloor, which reduces the need for first part runs and machine-based testing.

In this webinar, Chris Pollack, aka “Mr. CNC”, will show how new features and functions enable more efficient workflows — combining proven CNC performance with digital tin capabilities. Using practical machining scenarios, you will see how processes can be analyzed, optimized, and validated digitally before execution on the machine.

What you will learn by attending:

• How the CNC digital twin works in a SINUMERIK 828D environment
• How to program, simulate and validate machining processes offline
• How to reduce setup time and avoid errors before machining starts
• How SINUMERIK ONE and SINUMERIK 828D differ and where each system fits best
• How digital twin technology supports everyday machining in job shop environments

Meet the presenters:

• Chris Pollack – CNC Machining Expert, Siemens (“Mr. CNC”)
• John Meyer – Host / Moderator, Siemens
