STUDER STUDER 4 SOFTWARE SOFTWARE 5 STUDER Software Economical production

STUDER software helps you reduce production costs, thanks to our flexible and simple software concept. For you this means: shortest setup, programming and grinding times, combined with the highest machine availability.

STUDER developed a visual language for programming, called «Pictogramming». No other supplier can offer such a multitude of setup functions, grinding cycles and auxiliary functions. This means that even complex grinding processes are easy to program and control. Your advantage: You can become proficient in STUDER software very quickly.

STUDER machines can always be upgraded with the latest functions, are always state-of-the-art and retain their value. They can also be equipped with a wide variety of expansion modules, which optimize your specific grinding process directly in the control system. STUDER STUDER 6 SOFTWARE SOFTWARE 7

StuderCoordinate integrated

StuderCoordinate integrated enables grinding of eccentric internal geometries on STUDER cylindrical grinding machines. Hole patterns or other geometries, such as keyways for example, are ground using a seesaw movement of the C-axis in interpolation with the X-axis.

Advantages • Alternative to the coordinate grinding machine • Complete machining on one machine possible, resulting in shorter processing times and highest precision • Dressing from grinding cycle possible • All grinding data including grinding wheel wear always up-to- date thanks to clever software solution • Minimal memory load, as required programs are always gener- ated and processed just in time • Analysis and correction options • Macros for hole patterns • DXF import of any geometries STUDER STUDER 18 SOFTWARE SOFTWARE 19

StuderWINprogramming StuderWINprogramming is the perfect software package for the StuderSIM offline programming of your grinding machines. The workpiece-oriented data management prevents data chaos, ensuring that all data can be found within the shortest possible time. This software combines StuderSIM is the specially developed operating system for internal precision with cost-effectiveness and is just as easy to operate as and radius grinding. It enables programming of all basic cycles for StuderWIN on the machine. All additional modules available on the grinding, dressing and process-supporting measurement. The basic machine such as StuderTechnology for example, are also available at cycles such as surface grinding, bore grinding, cone grinding, thread the programming station. grinding, dressing and measurement are defined in the Parameter In- put window.

This type of programming guarantees great flexibility and remains very user-friendly and workshop-oriented. Each cycle is equipped with a dynamic help system and guides the operator intuitively through the grinding data creation process.
