Heidenhain: The Affordable TNC 620 Digital CNC
Schaumburg, IL — Heidenhain’s TNC 620 control is now more powerful than ever with the addition of software options that separate Heidenhain from the competition. This affordable digital CNC can be customized with various features and software op - tions never before possible, giving machine builders and end users the ability to tailor the CNC to their specific needs. The benefit is simply affordability as users only need purchase options that are required for their appli- cations. In addition, users can always add other fea- tures as needed using a unique code. Many new end user
functions are now available on the TNC 620 such as the new DXF converter which allows the user to open DXF files directly on the TNC, in order to extract contours, point patterns or machining positions. The TNC 620 control also comes equipped with the HSCI interface. Advantages of HSCI over traditional interface designs include greater distance between components, high noise immunity, simplified troubleshooting
and installation. With shop-oriented program-
ming using plain language dialog, the TNC 620 continues to provide the
operations with confidence. Another important feature of
the TNC 620 control is that it dynamically calculates and adapts to conditions. This is achieved through the use of an exciting range of new functions like CTC (Cross Talk Compensation), LAC (Load Adaptive Control), and ACC (Active Chatter Control), to name a few. ACC, for example, can significantly reduce a machine’s tendency to chatter and
increase the attainable metal re - moval rate during heavy cutting by 25 percent and more, depending on the type of machine. The new “ACC”
option is available in the tool table. Contact: Heidenhain Corp., 333

East Providence, RI — Long life for moving parts is a fundamental requirement when integrating machinery. Yet many suppliers only speculate about the service life of their parts; they either don’t carry out tests, or the tests they do perform aren’t consistent with the mechani- cal requirements of the application. It’s different at igus, a manufacturer of flexible cables for cable carrier sys- tems, where the company considers it standard to validate the lifetime of each of its products during develop- ment and mass production.

BF-3Di The company has been testing its
continuous-flex cables for more than 20 years in its 19,000-ft.2 fully equip - ped test laboratory. Endurance tests are supervised at over 50 different test stations and results are recorded by a dedicated laboratory team. Cables are subjected to different types of mechan- ical stresses and monitored electrical- ly. Afterwards, test results are ana- lyzed and used to improve products. The test lab conducts up to two billion test cycles per year.
How igus® Tests
Customer-specific application testing using Firewire USB and Ethernet cameras to test cables.
Test setups include standard
linear-axis tests involving various lengths of travel at different speeds. Tests can also be tailored specifically to individual customer applications. The company’s test capabilities in - clude linear travels up to 400 feet. Temperature profiles can be simulat- ed in a 26 foot travel test chamber that ranges from –40 to +140°F (–40 to +65°C). A robotic flex testing cell also tests the maximum lifetime of the CFROBOT series torsion-resist- ant robot cables on five different test robots. In tests customized to an indi- vidual customer’s requirements, the results are documented; but it’s also possible to follow the test’s progress in real-time webcam. This means that customers can access up-to-the-
minute updates at any time. Contact: igus® Inc., P.O. Box
