– The TNC contouring control for milling and milling/turning machines
For more than 35 years, TNC controls from
HEIDENHAIN have been proving them-
selves in daily use on milling, drilling and
boring machines, as well as machining cen-
ters. While the controls have undergone
continuous development during this period,
the basic operational technique has re-
mained the same.
You will find these principles also
implemented in the TNC 640, the
HEIDENHAIN contouring control for milling
and milling/turning operations: shop-
oriented programmability with graphic
support, many field-proven cycles and an
operational design you'll recognize from
other HEIDENHAIN controls.
Shop-oriented programming
You program conventional milling and
drilling operations, and with the TNC 640
also turning operations, yourself at the
machine, in plain language dialog—the
workshop-oriented programming language
from HEIDENHAIN. The TNC 640 provides
you with optimum support with practical
prompts, questions and expressive
graphical aids—for turning operations, too.
Standard operations and even complex
applications are on call as a large variety of
real-world machining cycles or coordinate
transformations.
Easy to operate
For simple work, such as face milling or
face turning, you need not write a program
on the TNC 640. It is just as easy to
operate the machine manually by pressing
the axis keys or—for maximum
sensitivity—using the electronic
handwheel.
Offline program creation
The TNC 640 can be programmed remotely
just as well. Your Ethernet interface
guarantees very short transfer times, even
of long programs.
