iTNC 530 - TNC 640 - DR. JOHANNES HEIDENHAIN GmbH

Uniformly Digital
For over 35 years, TNC controls have been
proving themselves in daily use on milling,
drilling and boring machines, as well as
machining centers. This success is due in
part to their shop-oriented programmability,
but also to their compatibility with
programs of the predecessor models. Now
HEIDENHAIN is introducing the iTNC 530
as a uniformly digital numerical control.
In the uniformly digital control design of
the iTNC 530, all components are
connected to each other via purely digital
interfaces: The control components are
connected via HSCI (HEIDENHAIN Serial
Controller Interface), the real-time protocol
from HEIDENHAIN for Fast Ethernet, and
the encoders are connected via EnDat 2.2,
the bidirectional interface from
HEIDENHAIN.
This achieves a high degree of availability
for the entire system. It can be diagnosed
and is immune to noise—from the main
computer to the encoder.
The uniformly digital design from
HEIDENHAIN guarantees not just very
high accuracy and surface quality, but high
traverse speeds as well.
HEIDENHAIN controls are powerful, userfriendly,
and upwardly compatible so they
are prepared for the future and allow you
to look forward with confi dence.
