The scalability of the hardware and software – both from a CNC perspective and in terms of
operation – means the SINUMERIK 840D sl can be used in many sectors. The possibilities
range from simple positioning tasks up to complex multi-axis systems.
Application areas and performance
● As many as 6 axes can be implemented on an NCU 710. The NCU 710 can be expanded
● On the NCU 720/730, the number of axes and/or the performance of the drive controller
● Use of an NCU 730 is recommended for maximum dynamics and accuracy in mold
● Since it has the highest PLC capacity, the NCU 730.2 PN represents the most advanced
