Simulation software for CNC training

Available on CD-ROM, SinuTrain XP version 6.3 from Siemens Energy and Automation, Inc. has been developed for training and programming on the Sinumerik CNC system. The software can be used to generate and simulate NC programs based on the DIN 66025 programming language, ShopMill, ShopTurn and ManualTurn products, as well as language commands for the Sinumerik 810D, 840D and 840Di CNCs.

Programs written using the software can be used on real machines, with the prerequisite that SinuTrain is adapted to the Sinumerik control on which the program is to be executed.

The CD-ROM includes the Sinumerik 810D/840D/840Di HMI-Advanced 6.3 universal operator control; programming software for lathes and milling machines; ShopMill on PC (for milling machines); ShopTurn on PC (for lathes); and ManualTurn on PC (for semi-conventional lathes).
