2.1 The TNC 128
The TNC 128 is a workshop-oriented straight-cut control that
enables you to program conventional machining operations right
at the machine in an easy-to-use conversational programming
language. It is designed for milling, drilling and boring machines
with up to 3 axes. You can also change the angular position of the
spindle under program control.
Keyboard and screen layout are clearly arranged in such a way that
the functions are fast and easy to use.
Programming: In HEIDENHAIN conversational
The HEIDENHAIN conversational programming format is an
especially easy method of writing programs. Interactive graphics
illustrate the individual machining steps for programming the
contour. Workpiece machining can be graphically simulated either
during or before actual machining.
You can also enter and test one program while the control is
running another.
Compatibility
Machining programs created on the HEIDENHAIN TNC 124 straight
cut control may not always run on the TNC 128. If NC blocks
contain invalid elements, the TNC will mark them as ERROR blocks
when the file is opened.
