Siemens Introduces Sinutrain XP For Efficient SINUMERIK CNC Training

LOS ANGELES - Siemens Energy & Automation, Inc. has introduced the new SinuTrain XP software for training and programming on the SINUMERIK CNC system. SinuTrain is the automation system simulation CNC training software package on CD-ROM. It runs on a PC and is designed for training purposes and self-study programs.

The SinuTrain XP training software is used to generate and simulate NC programs based on the DIN 66025 programming language as well as the Siemens ShopMill, ShopTurn and ManualTurn products plus language commands for the SINUMERIK 810D, 840D and 840Di computer numerical controls. Programs written using SinuTrain can be used on real machines. The pre-requisite is that SinuTrain is adapted to the SINUMERIK control on which the program is to be executed.

Contents of the SinuTrain XP CD-ROM version 6.3 includes the SINUMERIK 810D/840D/840Di HMI-Advanced 6.3 universal operator control, programming software for lathes and milling machines, ShopMill on PC (operator control and programming interface for milling machines), ShopTurn on PC (operator control and programming interface for lathes) and ManualTurn on PC (operator control and programming interface for semi-conventional lathes).
