Connect Equipment Through Control Systems
August 1, 2018
HEIDENHAIN will use its control systems to connect equipment from many machine tool builders throughout the exhibition back to the HEIDENHAIN booth.
"Connecting Systems for Intelligent Production" has been HEIDENHAIN's motto at recent trade shows as the manufacturing trend of digitization and networking have become the goal to increase competitiveness. To this end, HEIDENHAIN offers Connected Machining, a package of components and systems to support end users introducing digital order management into their production processes.
This will be demonstrated by HEIDENHAIN in a live presentation at its Connected Machining booth area, and will include the use of a TNC 640 control on a high precision 5-axis machine tool. HEIDENHAIN's new StateMonitor software focuses on the evaluation of machine data acquired during the operation of machine tools by the HEIDENHAIN TNC or other CNC controls with the MTConnect protocol interface. This can also be monitored online utilizing mobile devices via a secure IT structure.
At the show, it will be shown that the use of these systems results in concrete solutions for analyzing and reducing downtimes so that end users can increase competitiveness. HEIDENHAIN will put special emphasis on metal removal rates, productivity and accuracy while supporting the machine operator through full access to manufacturing IT. Five-axis application engineers will be on site explaining the new TNC features and cutting a high precision 5-axis part.
HEIDENHAIN will also have a booth at the Student Summit (#215108), allowing students to program the new TNC 640 CNC with touchscreen interface. Teachers and students will also get a first look at the new online HIT HEIDENHAIN Interactive Training Software for 3- and 5-axis machine programming.
