iTNC 530 - TNC 640 - DR. JOHANNES HEIDENHAIN GmbH

Test run graphics
To play it safe before running a program,
the iTNC 530 can graphically simulate the
machining of the workpiece. It can display
the simulation in various ways:
In a plan view with different shades of
depth
In three planes (as in the workpiece
drawing)
In a solid model, 3-D view
Details can be displayed in magnifi cation.
The high resolution of the 3-D view
visualizes even very fi ne contours true to
detail and enables you to see even hidden
details clearly and reliably. A simulated light
source provides realistic light-and-shadow
conditions.
When testing complex fi ve-axis programs,
even operations with tilted planes or
multiside machining can be displayed.
In addition, the iTNC 530 indicates the
calculated machining time in hours,
minutes and seconds.
Program-run graphics
On the iTNC 530, you can run the
programming graphics or verifi cation
graphics even while the workpiece is being
machined. Also, it shows a real-time
graphic of the machining progress during
program run. Coolant spray and protective
enclosures usually obstruct any direct view
of the actual workpiece. You can get around
this with a simple keystroke to see the
simulated progress of workpiece
machining.
