2.11 ShopMill - Graphical interface
With SINUMERIK, the user-friendly ShopMill interface provides a viable alternative to the univer-
sal SINUMERIK standard DIN/ISO user interface.

making functions
ShopMill has been expanded by means of
numerous mold-making and 5-axis functions
for maximum operator comfort.
To cater for applications involving programs
from external CAM systems or situations
where existing programs are to be used,
ShopMill features the full range of DIN/ISO
programming, including Siemens standard
cycles.
The complex programming normally associ-
ated with multi-axis machining is made much
easier thanks to special cycles, such as
CYCLE800 for swiveling, and straightforward
transformation of rotated and swiveled coordi-
nate systems based on the frame concept.
Practical measuring cycles are provided to
facilitate setup and in-process measurements.
These reduce setup times and make it possi-
ble to check dimensional accuracy on the
machine.
To enable the perfect balance to be achieved
for the respective HSC machining operation
(roughing/finishing) in terms of speed, accu-
racy and surface quality, CYCLE832 brings
together the necessary programming com-
mands/G codes to ensure optimum milling
results. If you need a fast overview of the pro-
grams in G1 blocks, you can use the Quick
Viewer, which displays the programs graphi-
cally.
