1.1 Application
The SINUMERIK 802D sl pro is a customized operator panel controller for standard CNC
milling machines and machining centers.
The SINUMERIK 802D sl pro allows you to easily operate machine tools by providing
graphical support for all operator control actions.
The functions in JOG (manual) mode enable you to quickly set the machine up for
machining, in accordance with your requirements. More specifically, this consists of
calculating the workpiece position in the machine, as well as maintaining and measuring the
tools in use.
For programming purposes, the SINUMERIK 802D sl pro provides you with a DIN/ISO editor
that is easy to operate and has a complete G code in accordance with DIN66025 and ISO
dialect. During programming, graphical support is provided for technological machining
cycles and contours.
The SINUMERIK 802D sl pro is an efficient, full system, covering all required fields of
application without additional setup and training costs:
● Easy-to-use interface for all machine functions
● DIN/ISO programming offline via CAD/CAM system (e.g. mold-making applications)
● DIN/ISO programming on the machine
● Graphical input support for technological machining cycles and contours
● Automatic tool measuring during setup
1.2 Machine spectrum
The SINUMERIK 802D sl pro is particularly recommended for the following machine types:
● Milling machines
● Vertical machining and drilling centers
● Vertical machining centers with an additional rotary table or turning clamp (4th axis)
– Machining cylindrical workpieces (peripheral surface transformation)
– Machining on multiple sides (swiveled plane)
