Ergonomic and elegant, state-of-the-art
and fi eld-proven—HEIDENHAIN controls
in a new design. Judge for yourself:
Durable
The high-quality stainless steel design of
the TNC 640 features a special protection
coating and is therefore highly resistant to
soiling and wear.
Smooth
The rectangular, slightly rounded keys are
pleasant to the touch and reliable in
operation. Their inscriptions do not wear
off, even under extreme workshop
conditions.
Flexible
The integrated machine operating panel
features easily exchangeable snap-on keys.
Reliable
The elevated key bed of the machine
operating panel prevents accidental
actuation. LEDs serve for status display of
each key by clearly indicating the active
machine functions.
Versatile
Soft keys both for the programming and
the machine functions always show only
the currently available selections.
Sensitive
With the handy control knobs you can
individually adjust the feed-rate, rapid
traverse and spindle speed.
Communicative
The fast USB 2.0 interface lets you connect
storage media or pointing devices to the
keyboard simply and directly.
