Open, Industrial PC-Based CNC for Metal Fabrication
The Sinumerik MC controller from Siemens is ideal for metal fabrication, specialty machines, additive manufacturing, plate cutting, grinding, laser or waterjet cutting, and more.
Posted: September 5, 2019
In Booth A-3650, Siemens Industry Inc. (Elk Grove Village, IL) will showcase their new Sinumerik MC controller as a universal, open, industrial PC-based CNC system with optimized motion control, high-performance automation and an integrated Windows 10 operating system that makes it the ideal control, especially for metal fabrication and specialty machines. With an open operating concept, this control system is suitable for additive manufacturing, metal forming, adhesive applications, plate cutting, grinding, and laser or waterjet cutting. Its Windows 10 operating system provides easy integration of customized software for these machines. The open operating concept and the extensive range of interfaces make it a universal, open control that can be easily utilized in existing fabrication machine systems.
Sinumerik Motion Control (MC) is optimally equipped with the latest generation of the proven Sinumerik numerical control (NC) kernel to meet the demands of the fabrication industry. It facilitates motion control with maximum accuracy and, thanks to G-code programming, offers freedom and flexibility in machine control. The integrated Simatic S7-1500F PLC increases the speed of response which, in turn, improves automation performance. Sinumerik MC offers Safety Integrated as the Siemens industry standard for safety and implements the multi-layer Defense-in-Depth-Concept for IT-Security. Sinumerik MC can be engineered in the TIA Portal that provides a highly efficient engineering environment and opens up new engineering opportunities for machine builders. Conventional PLC languages and high-level language programming are available in the TIA Portal to create automation programs for the control system. This is assisted by fast and simple commissioning offered by Sinumerik Operate, the graphical user interface of the Siemens CNC system. Sinumerik MC is the ideal CNC controller for machine solutions that require individual user interfaces.
