Well designed and user friendly
– The functional user interface
The combination of the straightforward and
ergonomically designed keyboard and the
well-designed screen layout are the es-
sence of reliable and fatigue-free operation.
These are principles that HEIDENHAIN
controls have always embodied. However,
the TNC 640 also offers a number of
features that make working with the
control even easier and user-friendlier than
ever.
Attractive view
The user interface of the TNC 640 has a
modern appearance, with lightly rounded
forms, color gradients and a homogene-
ously designed font. The individual screen
areas are clearly distinguished and the
operating modes are also indicated by their
respective symbols.
To better distinguish between the priority
of error messages, the TNC 640 displays
them in color-coded categories. A color-
coded warning triangle is also displayed.
Fast function overview
With smartSelect you enjoy dialog
guidance for selecting functions quickly
and easily that up to now were accessible
only through the soft-key structure. As
soon as you open smartSelect, it displays a
tree structure with all subordinate functions
that can be defined in the control’s current
condition. Moreover, in the right part of the
smartSelect window, the TNC displays the
integrated help. With the cursor or a
mouse click, you immediately access
detailed information on the respective
function. smartSelect enables you to
define fixed cycles, touch probe cycles,
special functions (SPEC FCT), and quickly
access the parameter programming.
