Heidenhain’s next-generation TNC 640 control provides higher spindle and axis dynamics

Heidenhain introduces the Gen 3 version of its TNC 640 control, designed for machines ranging from 3-axis milling to 5-axis simultaneous machining with milling, turning and grinding operations with up to 24 axes.

With its new Gen 3 drives, the control includes powerful inverters and controller technology that are key components in the complete system of its control package. Now providing even higher spindle and axis dynamics during the manufacturing process, these drives also require less space in its electrical cabinet, and result in reduced storage, mounting costs and servicing time.

Some of the new feature highlights of this latest generation control include new jig grinding functions, Extended Workspace Compact, Optimized Contour Milling (OCM) within its “Dynamic Efficiency” package, as well as the ongoing option of a “Dynamic Precision” package.

Also, Heidenhain's new StateMonitor 1.3 makes it very easy to remotely monitor efficiency improvements and ROI of these new CNC functions.
