1.1 TNC 370
Control
The TNC 370 is a shop-floor programmable contouring control for milling
machines with up to four axes. The spindle can be rotated to a given
angular stop position (oriented spindle stop).
Visual Display Unit and Operating Panel
The flat luminescent monochrome screen clearly displays all information
necessary for operating the TNC 370. The keys on the operating panel
are grouped according to their functions. This simplifies operating and
programming the control. The following keyboard units are available:
l
TE 370 with machine operating keys
(such as NC start, NC stop, coolant on/off)
l
TE 371 without machine operating keys
Programming
The TNC 370 is programmed directly at the machine with the easy-to-
use HEIDENHAIN plain language dialog format. Programming in IS0
format is also possible, and is described in the TNC 370 User’s Manual
for IS0 Programming.
Graphics
The graphic simulation feature enables you to test programs before
actual machining. Several types of graphic representation can be
selected.
Compatibility
The TNC 370 can execute any part program that was created on a TNC
150B or subsequent HEIDENHAIN control.
