Sinumerik is Siemens' CNC family, common on European machine tools and in high-end 5-axis, large-machine and mold work. It offers powerful multi-axis and high-speed machining features and its own programming environment, with ShopMill/ShopTurn for conversational work.
Sinumerik and Fanuc are the two dominant global platforms; a shop's familiarity with one heavily influences which machines it buys. The Sinumerik version (802/828/840D sl) signals the machine's tier and capability.
