Within this context, workflow is typically character- ized by the CAD-CAM-CNC process chain. From the CAD system right through to the control system, Siemens can offer an integrated solution for these requirements in the form of its SINU- MERIK products.

CAM systems define the position of the TCP differently depending on the tool shape. For Siemens controls, it is assumed that the TCP is at the tool tip. If the CAM system specifies a different TCP position then this difference must be taken into account when specifying the tool length.
To ensure that the data obtained is as realistic as possible, virtual models of the machine and control are created and simulated. Siemens provides the following basic module for this purpose:...
