Lathe retrofit
March 1st 2005

When lathe maker Dean Smith & Grave wanted to convert analoguebased lathes to modern CNCcontrolled machine tools without incurring excessive costs, it turned to Siemens Automation & Drives.

Siemens recommended its Sinumerik 840Di with Shopturn job shop software. Benefits include an analogue signal feature that allows it to interface with any make or model of drive system using analogue commands.

The 840Di is an integrated system built upon a standard Windows XP platform and an industrial PC with Pentium processor, resulting in speed, accuracy and flexibility. It has extended the capability of the DSG lathes considerably.
