Affordable new contourcontrol and DRO

HEIDENHAIN's new universal ND 780 digital readout system is compatible with virtually any manual machine tool, including milling, turning, boring, and drilling machines. It is compatible with all single or multi-axis machine tools up to three axes, and its extensive library of onboard user cycles as well as its menu-driven text help makes it extremely operator friendly. Its newly designed ergonomic housing, soft keys and bright six-inch LCD screen validate this claim.

The TNC 320 is an innovative full function control that incorporates the best features of HEIDENHAIN'S flagship iTNC 530 control, including the ability to control five axes, but at a lower cost. Reasons for this include the TNC 320's analog drive interface, ideal for interfacing to existing drive systems on retrofit applications, and its one-piece construction that minimizes cable runs. The TNC 320 sports a 15-in. TFT color flat-panel display (1024 x 768 pixels) featuring programming graphics and on-screen user support. Its main computer has a large number of onboard cycles to simplify most machining operations, from drilling and milling to workpiece probing.
