1. How to use this Service Manual
The service manual TNC 306/360 can be used to diagnose, locate and eliminate errors on
machine tools controlled by TNC.
In order to correctly judge the problems in an NC-controlled machine tool, fundamental
knowledge of the machine tool and its drives, as well as their interaction with the control
and the measuring systems is required. Incorrect behaviour of the machine tool can also
result from improper use of the control, NC-programming errors and incorrect or not
properly optimized machine parameters. For further information in this respect please refer
to the .Documentation of the Machine Tool Manufacturer, to the .Operating
Manual (HEIDENHAIN) and to the .Technical Manual (HEIDENHAIN).
The manual for the machine tool manufacturer is not enclosed with every control as is the
operating manual. In general, it is only supplied to the machine tool manufacturer and is
updated by HEIDENHAIN, Traunreut. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to contact the
machine tool manufacturer if errors occur that are due to a machine parameter or to the
interface of the control. Support will, however, also be provided by the service department
of HEIDENHAIN, Traunreut, and HEIDENHAIN agencies. Telephone numbers, addresses
and telex/telefax numbers can be found on the back side of the cover page and on the back
side of this service manual.
