The TNC7 portfolio has the perfect hardware variant for every application, offering convenient touch operation on a 16-inch, 19-inch or 24-inch Full HD monitor. You can also choose between a full-sized keyboard unit or a compact machine operating panel. Regardless of the hardware, your productivity still goes up thanks to typical TNC7 features such as intuitive, context-sensitive user guidance and innovative software options such as MAS graphical 6D setup support, DCM dynamic collision monitoring and OCM high-performance trochoidal milling.

The TNC7 basic lies near the lower end of the HMI portfolio, replacing the popular TNC 620. Its 16-inch touchscreen features Full HD resolution. Particularly space-conscious users can opt for a machine operating panel with only the most essential functions. The TNC7 basic can be used with the typical, wide-ranging TNC7 software options that boost user-friendliness, efficiency and process reliability.

Two potentiometers in one multi-functional operating element: the new OC 310 override controller facilitates working with a TNC7, since the user can now regulate both the feed rate and rapid traverse with just this one operating element. The user is supported by the new “Conditional stop” software function, for intuitive, convenient and one-handed proving-out of NC programs. The user simply defines breakpoints in the NC program at which the control will stop during program run (such as before a tilting function, when the tool is changed, or when the machining feed rate changes to rapid traverse). The override controller vibrates to generate tactile feedback, simplifying the user's workday. Each user can define the events for which this function is active.

Combining three roles in one intelligent system, the new VT 122 vision system, in conjunction with the VTC software, handles the roles of tool presetter, tool microscope and visual inspector. Obtained straight from the machine’s work envelope, its images enable detailed inspection of the tool’s cutting edge and deliver the information needed for holistic tool evaluation. The system’s smart camera and software can automatically measure a tool’s length, diameter and wear width. Tools can be inspected without a trip to the metrology lab, allowing users to work faster while providing automated tool-wear documentation.

Collect, evaluate and visualize machine data with StateMonitor, the machine data collection software from the HEIDENHAIN Digital Shop Floor. StateMonitor gives you real-time insight into the production statuses of your CNC machines. The new version of the software includes even more innovative solutions: An energy monitoring feature analyzes detailed data about your machine’s power, compressed-air and process-water consumption, allowing you to identify optimization potential. And a new ERP interfacing feature ensures automatic data sharing with higher-level ERP and MES systems, thereby enhancing your operational visibility.
