1 Introduction<br />
1.1 The <strong>TNC</strong> <strong>360</strong><br />
<strong>TNC</strong> Accessories<br />
3D Touch Probe Systems<br />
The <strong>TNC</strong> features the following functions for the<br />
HEIDENHAIN 3D touch probe systems:<br />
• Automatic workpiece alignment (compensation<br />
of workpiece misalignment)<br />
• Datum setting<br />
• Measurements of the workpiece can be performed<br />
during program run<br />
• Digitizing 3D forms (optional, only available with<br />
HEIDENHAIN plain language dialog programming)<br />
The TS 120 touch probe system is connected to the<br />
control via cable, while the TS 510 communicates<br />
by means of infrared light.<br />
Floppy Disk Unit<br />
The HEIDENHAIN FE 401 floppy disk unit serves as<br />
an external memory for the <strong>TNC</strong>, allowing you to<br />
store your programs externally on diskette.<br />
The FE 401 can also be used to transfer programs<br />
that were written on a PC into the <strong>TNC</strong>. Extremely<br />
long programs which exceed the <strong>TNC</strong>'s memory<br />
capacity are “drip fed” block by block. The machine<br />
executes the transferred blocks and erases them<br />
immediately, freeing memory for further blocks<br />
from the FE.<br />
Electronic Handwheels<br />
Electronic handwheels provide precise manual<br />
control of the axis slides. As on conventional<br />
machines, turning the handwheel moves the axis<br />
by a defined amount. The traverse distance per<br />
revolution of the handwheel can be adjusted over a<br />
wide range.<br />
Portable handwheels, such as the HR 330, are<br />
connected to the <strong>TNC</strong> by cable. Built-in handwheels,<br />
such as the HR 130, are built into the<br />
machine operating panel.<br />
An adapter allows up to three handwheels to be<br />
connected simultaneously. Your machine tool<br />
builder can tell you more about the handwheel<br />
configuration of your machine.<br />
