Siemens 828D control SKU:

The 828D uses the SINUMERIK Operate user interface, which is known for its intuitive operation. Advanced Surface & Top Surface: Intelligent motion control algorithms that ensure perfect surfaces at maximum speed during 3D milling (e.g. in mould making). Animated elements: During input, the control system displays small animations that explain exactly what a particular parameter does – this prevents operating errors.

Storage media: CF card, USB and Ethernet (no vulnerable hard drive) 

Compatibility: Supports ISO dialect (programmes from third-party systems can often be transferred directly)

Fast set-up times: Thanks to the graphical cycles, a machine with 828D can be set up extremely quickly for a new workpiece.

Chip flush-out system SKU: 254266
Chip flush-out system

The system uses the existing cooling lubricant (KSS) to generate a targeted flow and flush the chips to the chip conveyor. This ensures process reliability and reduces the need for manual cleaning (saving time).

Oil skimmer SKU: 254267
Oil skimmer

Removes disruptive foreign oil layers from the surface of the coolant.

This prevents the following problems:

  • Oxygen depletion: The coolant "tipps over". Bacteria multiply explosively, leading to unpleasant odours (rotten eggs).
  • Skin irritation: The bacterial load can cause dermatitis in employees.
  • Poorer cooling: Oil conducts heat less effectively than the emulsion, which reduces the service life of the tools.
  • Smoke development: The foreign oil burns on the cutting edge.

The core concepts of ShopMill

1. Graphical programming (away from the "cryptic") Instead of long lists of commands such as G01 X100 Y50 F200, you work with cycles. The programme is displayed in a clear process list. Each work step (e.g. face milling, pocket milling, drilling) is visualised by a symbol.

2. Dialogue-guided input When you open a cycle (e.g. a circular pocket), an input mask opens. There you simply enter the parameters:

  • Depth and radius
  • Feed (how much the tool removes per pass)
  • Finishing allowance
  • Rotational speed and feed rate

Comparison: ShopMill vs. DIN/ISO (G-code) ShopMill: Fast, intuitive, reliable thanks to simulation, but less flexible for highly specialised functions or extremely complex free-form surfaces (CAM systems are still used for this).

DIN/ISO: "Hardcore" programming. Each movement is defined individually. Maximum control, but time-consuming and more prone to errors with manual input.

Important to know: In modern Siemens controls, you can often mix ShopMill cycles with DIN/ISO blocks. So you don't necessarily have to choose "either/or".
