Newly introduced to the American machine tool industry, and based upon the new Sinumerik Operate user interface, SinuTrain from Siemens is an ideal solution for control-identical CNC training. With SinuTrain, actual NC programs are developed and simulated, to speed the program generation protocol. In this way, machine tool operators not only learn the control language commands, but they also visualize part programs on a PC screen that are identical to the machine tool's screen. As a further benefit, programs generated through SinuTrain can then be used on actual machines. SinuTrain is available for different needs and budgets including a trial version, a study version, a single-user license and an educational license. It is available in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Simplified Chinese, and requires Windows XP (32-bit). Support for Windows 7 (32- / 64-bit) coming in 2011.
