The complete learning process — It’s just like being on the shopfloor

In order to make it easy for

first-time users and trainees

to learn machine functions,

this computer-based training

contains programming tasks

that must be completed one

module at a time. As a result,

you will learn every detail

including the control,

machining space and

tool change.

n Keyboard in an original layout — similar to the actual machine

5

CNC operation and programming — right on your PC

SinuTrain allows user-friendly operation and CNC programming of SINUMERIK CNCs right on your PC — it’s based upon the actual SINUMERIK NC kernel.

SinuTrain for SINUMERIK Operate — Comprehensive functionality for CNC training

SinuTrain functions exactly

the same way as an actual

SINUMERIK CNC system.

This means that you can test

all of the operating modes of

the SINUMERIK Operate user

interface step-by-step.
