- Siemens presents a new CNC for woodworking machines at the Ligna
- Sinumerik MC is the open CNC for customized processing machines
At the Ligna Woodworking Trade Fair 2019, Siemens is showcasing the Sinumerik MC control as a universal, open CNC system. Its optimized motion control, high-performance automation and the integrated Windows 10 operating system make it the ideal control, especially for wood, glass and stone cutting machines.

- AnalyzeMyWorkpiece /Monitor enables continuous monitoring of workpiece production
- Quality control takes place immediately during production
- New application extends the range of existing applications for quality assurance
With AnalyzeMyWorkpiece /Monitor, Siemens is extending its software portfolio for machine tools for workpiece quality. The Edge application based on high-frequency data, which will be presented at EMO 2019, enables continuous monitoring of workpiece production in machine tools. Measured values such as position data, torque values or control deviations together with context information, for example the tool currently being used, are acquired from the machine with high frequency and without feedback via Sinumerik Edge. The measured values are compared continuously with a reference model. In the event of deviations that exceed a predefined level, the application logs the result, sends it to the machine tool and enables prompt responses by the operator. This means, for example, that unique process-parallel quality control is supported during production.
