Why Virtual Commissioning for Motion Control?

Virtual commissioning for Motion Control lets you validate machine functions, motion behavior, and control logic before physical commissioning. By connecting a virtual machine model to a real SINUMERIK control system, you can simulate machine performance, identify errors early, and plan more confidently. This helps shorten the real commissioning time by up to 70% and reduces the risk of costly damage during startup.
Siemens experts support you through consulting, implementation, and optional training - helping estimate feasibility and project effort, model machine behavior, and prepare engineering assets. With this structured approach, teams can parallelize work, avoid late-stage surprises, and achieve smoother startup of machine tools.

Key benefits

Shorten commissioning time

Reduce the duration of real commissioning by leveraging virtual machine simulation, helping shorten time by up to 70% for SINUMERIK‑controlled machine tools.

Detect errors early

Identify and correct errors early through realistic machine behavior simulation, supporting reliable planning and preventing late-stage faults.

Reduce commissioning risks

Lower the risk of machine damage by validating movements and interactions in a safe virtual environment before operating the real machine.
