Award Winner
To handle the complex machining applications, Ingersoll Machine Tools chose the modular, scalable and open SINUMERIK 840D sl CNC system from Siemens, which is considered to be the control of choice in high-end machining segments like aerospace. 
High CNC machining performance, along with flexibility and openness, represent the basis for almost every machine tool concept. The promised advantages of digitalization are being implemented by Ingersoll Machine Tools. Having removed the boundaries to large-format robotic fiber placement and 3D printing, expectations now rise toward making breakthrough improvements across the entire part production process.  
The disruption promised by Industry 4.0 has already begun. What’s all the more remarkable is that it’s happening in aerospace, where machine design for improved mold and part production is about the largest of the large, the most difficult of the difficult.
Jason Melcher, Vice-President, Sales, Ingersoll Machine Tools
Ingersoll Machine Tools is using cutting-edge CNC automation hardware and software from Siemens to transform their business for the digital age. With the Siemens Virtual NC Kernel (VNCK), the company was able embed the real CNC kernel into a virtual machine, allowing Ingersoll Machine Tools to completely emulate real machine tool control and directly import the commissioning archive of the actual machine. That helped Ingersoll Machine Tools to save time with faster commissioning and to get the machine to their customers faster. From an end-customer perspective, machine users will be able to simulate the manufacturing of their product and shorten their time-to-market while increasing their production quality.
