Work preparation with SINUMERIK
A machine tool is productive when it produces chips. Activities where the machine does not chip should be consistently shifted to CNC work preparation. This includes CNC programming, testing and running-in of programs. With the appropriate SINUMERIK software, this work can be done efficiently on the PC while the machine is productive.
