TNC 360 1-2
1 Introduction
1.1 The TNC 360
Control
The TNC 360 is a shop-floor programmable contouring control for milling
machines, boring machines and machining centers with up to four axes.
The spindle can be rotated to a given angular stop position (oriented
spindle stop).
Visual display unit and operating panel
The monochrome screen clearly displays all information necessary for
operating the TNC. In addition to the CRT monitor (BE 212), the TNC 360
can also be used with a flat luminescent screen (BF 110). The keys on the
operating panel are grouped according to their functions. This
simplifies programming and the application of the TNC functions.
Programming
The TNC 360 is programmed in ISO format. Programming with the easy to
understand HEIDENHAIN plain language dialog format is also possible and
is described in the TNC 360 User's Manual for HEIDENHAIN Conversa-
tional Programming.
Graphics
The graphic simulation enables you to test programs before actual machin-
ing. Various types of graphic representation can be selected.
Compatibility
The TNC 360 can execute any part program that was programmed on a
TNC 150B HEIDENHAIN control or any subsequent version.
