Overview of programming methods

The SINUMERIK 840D sl offers you a choice of the following programming methods:
programGUIDE and SINUMERIK CNC programming
With programGUIDE you obtain the perfect combination of the SINUMERIK CNC
programming language and the parameterization of technology cycles. The wide choice of
technology cycles and the ease of parameterization allows you to reduce the programming
time. The parameter input is supported by Animated Elements.
The SINUMERIK language statements with CNC high-level language elements offer you a
very high degree of flexibility and guarantee minimum machining time.
programmGUIDE and SINUMERIK CNC programming are particularly suitable for medium
series and large series production.
ShopTurn - Machining step programming
Machining operations such as stock removal, grooving or thread cutting are shown in
ShopTurn in the form of worksteps. In this way CNC programs – even for complex machining
operations – are very compact and easily read. Associated sequences are automatically
interlinked and can be assigned any position patterns. ShopTurn offers you the shortest
programming times even for highly demanding machining tasks. The parameter input is
supported by Animated Elements.
ShopTurn is particularly well suited for small series production.
ISO dialect and SINUMERIK CNC programming language
The SINUMERIK 840D sl allows you to perform ISO programming using the SINUMERIK
CNC programming language combined with or exclusively in ISO dialect.
The online ISO dialect interpreter offers you the opportunity to use CNC programs from other
manufacturers.
Step for step you can increase the performance capability by using SINUMERIK CNC
programming.
Highlights
● Whether you use programGUIDE or ShopTurn – in either case the full range of
● Compatibility with the ISO dialect of other controller manufacturers is feasible
