Siemens Sinumerik 810D

[Oppiz]

My company is in the process of purchasing a Parker Magestic grinder with one of these controls

(Sinumerik 810D). My questions are; is there any way to apply MC to program this machine? Does any have experience with this grinder or control? If so whats your opinion?

[Christian Raebild]

I do not know that type of grinder, but we have made post processors for grinders, and we have made post processors for lathes and mills with Siemens 810D controls, so it should be possible to make a post processor for that machine. I will need to know more about the machine before I can say anything more.

 

What kind of setup is it, is it a rotary grinder (i.e. similar to a lathe) or a multiaxis grinder (i.e. similar to a multiaxis milling machine)?

 

Which axes are available on the grinder (XYZABC)?

 

Can you supply us with the manual for the grinder? Preferably in electronic format, and if it has to be on paper, can you get a second copy which we can keep?

Its a multi axis similar to a horz. mill. We have not received the grinder yet so I don't have the info your asking for.
