HEIDENHAIN TNC

With the TNC programming station, NC programs can be created on a PC just like on the machine. The workstation supports nearly all functions and allows for optimal preparation and verification of new workpieces. Additionally, the programming station provides an ideal environment for training. Optionally, a digital twin can be integrated for the TNC7.

Highlights

Programming and training software for HEIDENHAIN TNC

NC programs can be created, tested, and optimized on a PC using HEIDENHAIN software. Every menu and button corresponds to the real machine layout. Programs can be created in HEIDENHAIN plain text dialog, DIN/ISO, or with graphical support and the proven TNC functions. Contours can be imported from standardized CAD formats (DXF, STEP, IGES). Externally created programs, such as those from CAM systems, can be checked and adjusted if necessary. Optionally, the programming station (TNC7) can be equipped with a digital twin.

Module

HEIDENHAIN TNC programming station

For shop floor programming, NC programs can be created, tested, and simulated just like on the real machine. The project created, including program, tool, and zero point information, can be transferred to the machine via network or data carrier. The optional digital twin for the TNC7 indicates collisions in the working area and checks the entire machine's travel range.

Functions

Use Case 1: Shop floor programming

To avoid burdening valuable machine production time with programming new projects, the programming station offers users a machine-like programming environment on the PC. New programs can be created efficiently and safely without additional programming know-how. An optional 3D workspace simulation (TNC7) also provides increased safety at the machine.

Services

DMG MORI, in collaboration with Heidenhain, creates the digital twin of customer-specific machines upon request and supports services for training and installation. The duration depends on the number of workstations to be installed and the training needed. The service package is individually determined in consultation and can be conducted online or in person.

Digital twin

The digital twin is a realistic representation of the machine on a programming station. This provides the actual kinematics, parameters, and functions of the machine on the PC. It protects against collisions, saves setup times, and increases efficiency. DMG MORI adapts the 3D model and control data of the machine and implements it into the programming station.
