Requirements for milling
© Siemens AG All rights reserved SINUMERIK, Manual, Mold-Making with 3- to 5-Axis Simultaneous Milling
Design standards in all application areas are
becoming increasingly demanding.
Expectations in terms of ergonomics, the air
drag coefficient (CW value) or simply aesthetic
appeal are creating a need for more complex
surface geometries to be achieved quicker
and with greatest precision. The design prima-
rily comes from CAD systems, the machining
programs from CAM systems.
With SINUMERIK, Siemens can provide CNC
systems that are perfectly suited to the
demands of 3- to 5-axis machining as well as
HSC (High Speed Cutting) and HPC (High
Performance Cutting) applications:
Simple to operate
User-friendly programming at the machine
Optimum performance throughout the
CAD-CAM-CNC process chain
Optimized 5-axis functions
Depending on the application, the
requirements imposed on the control will vary
and a whole range of different functions may
be demanded.
Within this context, milling can be broken
down into three broad areas:
Free-form surfaces (mold-making)
Turbine and engine components
(impellers, blisks)
Structural parts (aviation industry)
SINUMERIK can provide optimum support for
each of these areas.
