HEIDENHAIN TNC 426B (280 472) ISO programming - Manual (Page 18)

2 1 Introduction
1.1 The TNC 410, The TNC 426, and
The TNC 430
HEIDENHAIN TNC controls are workshop-oriented contouring
controls that enable you to program conventional machining
operations right at the machine in an easy-to-use conversational
programming language. They are designed for milling, drilling and
boring machines, as well as for machining centers. The TNC 410 can
control up to 4 axes, the TNC 426 up to 5 axes, and the TNC 430 up
to 9 axes. You can also change the angular position of the spindle
under program control.
Keyboard and screen layout are clearly arranged in a such way that
the functions are fast and easy to use.
Programming: HEIDENHAIN conversational and ISO formats
HEIDENHAIN conversational programming is an especially easy
method of writing programs. Interactive graphics illustrate the
individual machining steps for programming the contour. If a
production drawing is not dimensioned for NC, the HEIDENHAIN
FK free contour programming carries out the necessary calculations
automatically. Workpiece machining can be graphically simulated
either during or before actual machining. It is also possible to
program in ISO format or DNC mode.
You can enter a program while the control is running another. With
the TNC 426, TNC 430 it is also possible to test one program while
another is being run.
Compatibility
The TNC can execute all part programs that were written on
HEIDENHAIN controls TNC 150 B and later.
