Why Virtual Commissioning Services for Motion Control?

Virtual Commissioning for Motion Control validates machine functions and logic before the physical build. By connecting a virtual model to a physical or virtual SINUMERIK system, you detect errors early and shorten commissioning by up to 70%.

Siemens experts provide consulting, implementation and training to model machine behavior and assess feasibility. This structured approach avoids late-stage surprises and enables a smooth, reliable startup.

Shorten commissioning time by 70%

Reduce the duration of real commissioning by leveraging virtual machine simulation for SINUMERIK‑controlled machine tools and make your machines production-ready significantly faster.

Eliminate commissioning risks

Avoid costly hardware damage through precise 3D model simulations. Protect your physical assets by validating every movement in a safe, virtual environment before the first cut.

Detect engineering errors early

Identify technical faults before they reach the shop floor through realistic machine behavior simulation, supporting reliable planning and preventing late-stage errors.

Step 1: Consulting

Lay the foundation for a risk-free startup. Our experts evaluate your project’s feasibility and provide a reliable estimate of the required outlay. We join forces to define specific commissioning scenarios and check their implementability. This phase enables demand-based decision-making by clearly mapping out the modeling and testing efforts needed to hit your targets without surprises.

Step 2: Implementation

Turn concepts into high-performance reality. Using state-of-the-art software, our experts develop a precise spatial and mathematical model of your machine’s behavior. We work closely with your team to virtually test the agreed scenarios, identifying and clearing potential faults at an early stage. This proactive approach significantly slashes the risk of cost-intensive damage and delivery delays.

Optional step 3: Engineering

Receive a simulation project tailored exactly to your needs. We develop a robust Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) environment using NX MCD for model-based control design. This phase results in a finalized, high-fidelity digital twin delivered directly to you. By validating the interaction between logic and mechanics in this virtual space, you help ensure a seamless transition to the physical shop floor.

Optional step 4: Training

If a faster delivery time and faster innovation cycle due to process parallelization are desired not just for specific projects, the training by experienced service representatives offers the best introduction to the comprehensive approach.
