Choosing and Using Soft Starters
Due to the improved operating characteristics they give to the equipment they control, electronic motor soft starters are increasingly widely applied. Peter Costello of Siemens explains
For simple applications, the Sinumerik 802D CNC range will be on display, illustrating a variety of new functions, including tasks for flexible turning machines with face machining (Transmit), and rotating tools.
The Sinumerik 840D Powerline CNC serves as an example of joint production development with key Siemens customers in which the integration of new hardware components and new functions has been able to increase the productivity of control and further improve machining quality.
One facet is the NC link function to control upto 248 axes/spindles.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to learn more about Siemens Mechatronic Support and Virtual Production Assistant services, which illustrate how this two-pronged service can benefit both End Users and OEM's - including optimisation of existing machines and development of new machines.
Motion Control Information Systems (MCIS) is a modular software package comprising a tool set for monitoring, managing, maintaining and optimising everything from individual machine tools to complete production systems.
The latest innovations in advanced motion control features such as jerk limitation, velocity, acceleration feed forward and APC (advanced position control) enable faster and more accurate machining.
This is particularly important in the mould and die and aerospace arenas.
The high-speed setting cycle and double spline interpolation can directly interface with CAD-CAM systems.
The latest versions of JobShop software, ShopMill and ShopTurn, will be on display, demonstrating all aspects of operating and programming for low, medium and high batch production.
A new economy motor spindle (ECS) for milling applications, ideally suited to the machining of aluminium will also be on show.
The all-in-one motor spindle has compact design and integrated functions such as tool clamping, monitoring or encoding.
Siemens will be launching two new products aimed for general motion control applications - the Simotion D drives based motion control platform, alongside the new Sinamics S servo drives.
Simotion D complements the recently launched Simotion P (PC based) and Simotion C (Controller based) platforms giving the ultimate in flexibility and performance.
Sinamics S utilises Siemens ground-breaking Drive-CliQ networking technology for servo drives and motors, allowing flexible operation with fast commissioning and high dynamic performance for multi-axis systems.
Siemens will be demonstrating its unrivalled quality support and service network which is a key discriminator for customers when choosing a Motion Control Solution.
We will be able to discuss pre sales technical support, quotations, spares and warranty, through to other support services associated with the sales and logistic process.
