Automated Machining
– The iTNC 530 Manages, Measures and Communicates
The difference in requirements placed on
the classical machine for tool and moldmaking
and machining centers are
becoming ever less distinct. Today of
course the iTNC 530 is particularly capable
of controlling automated processes. It
masters the range of functions needed to
start the proper machining operations on
individual workpieces in any setup and
even in interlinked machining.

Tool management
For machining centers with automatic tool
changers, the iTNC 530 offers a central tool
memory for up to 32 767 tools. The tool
memory is a freely confi gurable fi le and
can therefore be optimally fi tted to your
needs. You can even have the iTNC 530
manage your tool names. The control
prepares the next tool change while the
current tool is still cutting. This signifi cantly
reduces the non-cutting time required for
changing tools.
With the optionally available expanded tool
management you can also graphically
prepare and display any data.*
* The machine and the iTNC must be adapted to these
functions by the machine tool builder.
Pallet management
The iTNC 530 can assign the appropriate
part program and datum shift to parts
mounted on pallets and brought to the
machine in any sequence. If a pallet is
exchanged, the iTNC 530 automatically
calls the correct part program. This permits
automatic machining of a variety of parts in
any sequence.
