The HEIDENHAIN TNC controller is a contouring controller for machine tools. Conventional machining operations can be programmed with an easy-to-use conversational programming language Programming is possible. Designed for milling, drilling, boring, and machining centers, the I TNC 530 can control up to 12 axes. Spindle angular position can also be changed by program control.
The built-in hard disk can also store programs created off line. For quick calculations, the on-screen pocket calculator can be called up at any time. The keyboard and screen layout are clearly arranged so that each function is quick and easy to use.
Heidenhain Conversational Programming is a particularly easy way to create programs. It is away to write programs. Interactive graphics are used to Individual processing steps for programming a contour. If HEIDENHAINFK Free Contour Programming automatically performs the calculations required for NC machining. The machining of the work piece can be simulated graphically during or before the actual machining.
The smarT.NC operating mode allows even TNC novices to create structured interactive programs with a simple training. smarT.NC has a separate user manual. smarT.NC can also be programmed in ISO format or in DNC mode. You can also enter and test one program while the control is running another (not applicable to smarT.NC).
About the Book
Machine tool builders adapt the available features of the TNC to their machines by setting machine parameters. Some of the features described in this manual may not be available for your machine tool. Some of the features described in this manual may not be available for your machine tool.
SomeTNC features must be implemented by the machine tool manufacturer and therefore may not be available on all machine tools. These features include:
- Probing capabilities of the 3D touch probe.
- Tool measurement with the TT 130.
- Rigid tapping.
- Contour recovery after machining interruption.
