SINUMERIK — The First Choice for Five-Axis Medical Part Manufacturing

From orthotic devices and surgical tools to parts for highly sensitive, advanced medical devices, SINUMERIK CNC, in tandem with Siemens motors, drives, and automation provides a complete solution for design and production on your shopfloor. Advanced functionality makes SINUMERIK CNC versatile, powerful, accurate, easy-to-learn and easy-to-use.

Benefits include:

Double Spline Interpolation — enables programming at both the tool pivot point and the tool tip, providing the ultimate precision required for orthopedic and prosthetic parts production
CATIA software — interprets curvature as curvature, not as linear blocks, producing complex and highly custom shapes with precision, speed and the highest repeatability
SINUMERIK 840D control — calculates all five-axis transformations in real time without relying on multiple post-processors, resulting in faster production, shorter machine setup, minimized downtimes, and an optimized production flow
Volumetric Compensation System — increases the precision of your current five-axis machine without adding proprietary controls

In addition, the PC-based SINUMERIK CNC provides five-axis migration, program restart, control technology and one-source retrofitting to increase productivity, decrease machine investments and make the solution easy-to-use.
