- Siemens drives forward digital transformation in the machine tool industry with a brand new Sinumerik generation
- Sinumerik ONE enables seamless interaction between virtual and real world for significantly increased productivity in the production and use of machine tools
- Scalable CNC-portfolio for highest performance requirements and optimum surface quality
With Sinumerik ONE, the first digital native CNC, Siemens is driving forward digital transformation in the machine tool industry. The new controller works with software to create the machine controller and associated digital twin from one engineering system and thus contributes to the seamless integration of hardware and software. Thanks to its seamless interaction between virtual and real world as well as high-performance hardware, Sinumerik ONE is setting new standards in terms of productivity, performance and digitalization. It is the future-proof CNC for machine tools in the increasingly digital world of manufacturing. Both machine manufacturers and machine operators benefit from the universal digital twin for the product, production and performance.
- 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.
- Slogan: "Digitalization in Machine Tool Manufacturing – Thinking further!"
- New Sinumerik ONE controller generation as a digital native
- Software portfolio for workpiece quality extended to include another Edge app
Under the slogan "Digitalization in Machine Tool Manufacturing – Thinking further!", Siemens is presenting numerous extensions to its Digital Enterprise portfolio for the machine tool industry in around 1700 square meters at EMO in Hanover in Hall 9, Booth H50. The company has already integrated future technologies in its portfolio, such as its new machine tool controller specifically designed for digitalization, Edge and cloud computing, artificial intelligence and additive manufacturing, and is leading the machine tool world to the next level of digital transformation. "With our unique range of digitalization solutions, we are paving the way for the future of the machine tool industry and helping our customers, machine builders and machine users, to find new and more comprehensive ways of using rapidly growing data volumes to increase their productivity, quality and competitive edge", explains Dr. Wolfgang Heuring, CEO of Business Unit Motion Control. The basis for innovative technologies is the availability and transparency of data which can be used to create digital twins – of the product, production and performance – and which map and link together all the steps of industrial manufacturing processes in a virtual environment. "The key is to use this data innovatively and to convert it into valuable knowledge in order to improve performance and flexibility and reduce the time to market", Heuring continues.
- New firmware adds Fast PTI mode for precise positioning at even higher speeds
- Fast PTI mode comes with auto-tuning function
- Firmware update opens up new applications for Sinamics V90
New functions are being added to the proven Sinamics V90 servo drive system with the V1.11 version of the Sinamics firmware. The Fast PTI mode is now available for the drive system, increasing Pulse Train Input (PTI) performance by 70 percent. This improves the reaction time from the Pulse Train Input command to the actuation of the motor. The improved reaction time opens up new application areas for the Sinamics V90 which require higher dynamic performance such as high speed labeling as well as in the field of LED production (LED pick & place).
- New engineering portal speeds up plant engineering
- Object queries now editable in Comos web application
- Modular engineering with intelligent templates and central data storage
In the latest version 10.3 of its Comos CAE software solution for the process industry, Siemens is focusing on increasing efficiency in engineering. Using the Comos Engineering Portal included in this version, engineering processes can be significantly shortened. In addition to this, new developments and functional expansions are available for the current version in modular engineering and for mobile applications.
- Integration into the digital workflow with data exchange via AutomationML
- Import and simulation of existing TIA Portal projects V15.1
- Configuration option of modular switches
- Simulation of broadcast with definition of broadcast limits
Siemens is launching a new version of the software tool for planning and simulating Profinet automation networks on the market. Sinetplan V2.0, the Siemens network planner, supports plant planners, builders and operators of automation systems and Profinet networks already in the planning phase and facilitates the professional and proactive simulation of a plant network. At the Hannover Messe 2019, Siemens is exhibiting the new features with which Sinetplan V2.0 is integrated into the digital planning and engineering workflow.
