Siemens introduces new compact-class NUMERICAL control for Job shops around the globe
Owners, Operators Break Free from G-Code-Intensive Programming

AVAILABLE IN HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL LAYOUT

The Sinumerik 828D is available with a horizontal and vertical control panel layout.

Both control panel versions come in a choice of two CNC performance versions, allowing the Sinumerik 828D to be adapted to each user’s specific mounting site and individual machine performance requirements. Its minimal dimensions allow the new Sinumerik CNC to be easily integrated into even the most compact machine designs. Despite the diminutive size of the control, the high-resolution 10.4” color TFT display and full QWERTY keyboard make it extremely user-friendly.

The structural design of the CNC, a unit comprised of a tough and wear-resistant die cast magnesium control panel, CNC keyboard and CNC electronic circuitry, is extremely robust and features only a minimum number of interfaces. The new CNC is maintenance-free with no fans, hard drive or backup battery.
