Programming, Editing, Testing
– The iTNC 530 Opens Endless Possibilities
The iTNC 530 is just as universal in
application as it is fl exible in machining
and programming.
Programming at the machine
HEIDENHAIN controls are workshop
oriented, which means that they were
conceived for programming right at the
machine. The iTNC 530 supports you with
two user interfaces:
For 30 years, HEIDENHAIN conversational
programming has been the standard
programming language for all TNC controls
and for shop-fl oor programming in general.
The new smarT.NC intuitive and selfexplanatory
operating mode uses
straightforward input forms to guide you
through the complete NC programming
process all the way to the actual machining.
There’s no need to learn G functions or any
special programming languages. The
control “speaks” with you using easily
understandable questions and prompts.
Whether plain-language prompts, dialog
guidance, programming steps or soft keys,
all texts are available in numerous
languages.
If you are used to DIN/ISO programming,
however, the iTNC is still the right control—
you can enter DIN/ISO programs over the
alphanumeric keyboard. The most
frequently needed letters are already
highlighted in color.
Positioning with manual data input
You can start working with the iTNC 530
even before writing a complete part
program. Simply machine a part step by
step—switching as you want between
manual operation and automatic
positioning.
Creating programs offl ine
The iTNC 530 is also well equipped for
offl ine programming. The iTNC 530 can
be integrated through its interfaces into
networks and connected with programming
stations, CAD/CAM systems or other data
storage devices.
