FFG wanted Siemens to perform a configuration analysis of a VDF 800 DUS turning machine to find optimization potential in mechanical configuration, control and parametrization. 

Customer challenges: 

• Data migration from power line to solution line
• Standardization of machine parametrization for a series production
• Commissioning and optimization of machines built on other factories

Siemens Service experts performed the following analysis:

• Extensive analysis of NC Archive, drive parametrization and Auto-Servo-Tuning (AST) measurements
• Provision of results and optimization possibilities in form of a report
