Consistent clamping
01 December 2014
The Siemens Sinumerik CNC controller, which has been optimizing the productivity of machine tools for over 50 years, now has a new partner on its side, Hainbuch and its Testit software.
The new software is available on a data carrier for installation on Siemens CNC controllers [Sinumerik 840D SL plus PCU50].
This now means that a separate laptop is not needed and manufacturing with ‘theoretical clamping forces’ is a thing of the past. Thanks to Testit, the operator always knows what clamping forces exist and where.
The operator also can understand the actual maintenance status of the clamping device and when taking into account the safety standard DIN EN 1550, this new package is useful for all machine tools running Siemens control units.
