3.1 The TNC620
HEIDENHAIN TNC controls are workshop-oriented contouring
controls that enable you to program conventional milling and
drilling operations right at the machine in easy-to-use Klartext
conversational language. They are designed for milling, drilling, and
boring machines, as well as for machining centers, with up to 6
axes. You can also change the angular position of the spindle under
program control.
The keyboard and screen layout are clearly arranged in such a way
that the functions are fast and easy to use.
HEIDENHAIN Klartext and ISO
HEIDENHAIN Klartext, the dialog-guided programming language
for workshops, is an especially easy method of writing programs.
Programming graphics illustrate the individual machining steps
for programming the contour. If no NC-dimensioned drawing is
available, then the FK free contour programming will help. Workpiece
machining can be graphically simulated either during a test run or
during a program run.
It is also possible to program in ISO format.
You can also enter and test one NC program while another
NC program is machining a workpiece.
Compatibility
NC programs created on HEIDENHAIN contouring controls (starting
from the TNC 150 B) may not always run on the TNC620. If the
NC blocks contain invalid elements, the control will mark these as
ERROR blocks or with error messages when the file is opened.
