In the world of modern CNC manufacturing, machine downtime is the arch-enemy of profitability. Every minute spent testing a new program on a live machine is a minute not producing chips. Siemens has long been the vanguard of digital twinning with its solution to this problem: SinuTrain .
SinuTrain leads for complex multi-tasking machines (B-axis lathes) and ShopFloor programming (ShopTurn). Part 9: The Future – Where is SinuTrain Headed? While 4.8 ed.2 is current, Siemens is already moving toward cloud-based simulation. However, for secure, latency-free simulation, the desktop version remains irreplaceable. sinutrain for sinumerik operate 4.8 ed.2
