The TNC 640: High-end control for milling and turning
HEIDENHAIN is presenting the new TNC 640 at IMTS 2012. For the first time, milling and turning are combined in one TNC. The new TNC 640 is designed for machine tools capable of multi-operation machining.
Deep-hole gun drill machine for hydraulic press manufacturing
Two HEIDENHAIN controls are an integral part of an unusual deep-hole gun drill machine now in place at Dieffenbacher North ...
Retrofit new encoders on large, early 80’s multi-axis robot motors for motor manufacturing process
Did you know that HEIDENHAIN are the rotary encoders of choice in the “vintage” robot upgrades going on at Baldor ...
Maximum precision for a new view of the universe

A wooden eyeglass manufacturer uses 5-axis machining to achieve low weight, no screws, unusual surfaces and perfect functionality
Did you know that a HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 control is a vital component in the current manufacture of award-winning new ...
Importance of mounting tolerances for modular encoders
Modular encoders are very susceptible to mounting misalignment. Since modular encoders have no bearing, they rely solely on the accuracy of the motor and encoder manufacturing process.
What influences accuracy of rotary tables?
When determining the influencing factors of accuracy on a rotary table, the first thing would be to look at the mechanics of the table itself.
Exposed linear encoders for direct drives
Linear motors have made irreversible inroads into highly dynamic applications such as manufacturing and measuring equipment in the semiconductor industry, in PCB assembly machines, textile machines and in automation.
Influence of position measurement on accuracy in 5-axis machining
High strength and low weight are essential for the aeronautics and space industry. Integral construction has established itself as the way to minimize the weight of "airborne" parts: components with complex structure are manufactured completely from a single blank. Metal removal levels can be as high as 95 %. This high "buy-to-fly" rate leads to high costs for the raw material of the blanks.
