DIGITAL DRIVE CONTROL EQUIPPED FOR COMPLICATED TASKS, 5 AXIS MACHINING

With the TNC 620 with digital drive control, HEIDENHAIN Corporation offers a control for use on both milling machines and machining centers with up to 5 axes plus spindle. This TNC is based on an innovative software platform NC Kernel. The TNC 620 equipped for handling even very complicated tasks, including those that use swivel and rotary axes.

For simultaneous machining with up to five axes, the TNC 620 offers special functions that produce optimal machining results. Dynamic look-ahead algorithms for jerk limitation and intelligent motion control are the type of available functions that enable the TNC 620 to handle even very stringent requirements on the surface of a finished workpiece. The main computer, controller unit, and other components of the HEIDENHAIN TNC 620 control system feature the HSCI (HEIDENHAIN Serial Controller Interface). HSCI is based on the 100BaseT Ethernet standard. This helps make short cycle times for data transfer possible, considerably reduces cable costs and eases installation. Together with the purely digital EnDat 2.2 encoder interface, the TNC 620 has a uniformly digital design from the main computer to the encoder. The main computer of the TNC 620 is housed inside the operating panel, behind the TFT flat-panel display.
