Heidenhain says its TNC7 CNC control supports users from initial design to final machining, from one-off jobs to serial production, and from simple slots to complex contours. The company says its control platform enables machine manufacturers to adapt the user interface to their machines and offers dynamic development potential for even greater functionality.

The CNC control is said to deliver an outstanding user experience, bringing new possibilities to users on the shop floor. Along with easy and intuitive operation, users are said to benefit from a virtual simulation of the machined part and work envelope. The control features a new look and feel, and is said to feature high-quality hardware components such as a 24″ full HD touchscreen monitor and an advanced, individually adaptable user interface.

It also features an individually adaptable user interface which was designed to help users achieve the best results with maximum speed and convenience. Different machining tasks call for individualized work environments, so the control is designed to enable users to adapt their screen content through personal favorites on their own home menu for a faster start. Also, due to its fast operating speed, the control reacts immediately to data input, the company says.

The control is said to enhance Klartext programming with smart functions and newly developed graphical programming. Users are able to draw contours directly on the touchscreen and convert them into dialog-guided TNC Klartext programming code. Cycles and older contour programs can still be used, including already existing NC programs. A diverse package of functions, intelligent probing cycles and graphical guidance for determining the position of clamping devices are said to complete the next level of smart programming.
