With the advent of Heidenhain’s “Dynamic Efficiency” control features, heavy machining solutions that provide new comprehensive process management tools are now readily available through their use in Heihenhain’s TNC 640 and iTNC 530 controls.

 

More specifically, with the concept of Dynamic Efficiency, Heidenhain offers TNC functions that improve efficiency in heavy machining by providing solutions that remove as much material in the shortest amount of time. The goal is to optimize metal removal rates, maximize tool service life and minimize the machine load.

To do this, Dynamic Efficiency comprises these three TNC control functions:

ACC (Active Chatter Control) – this option reduces chatter tendencies and permits greater infeeds; AFC (Adaptive Feed Control) – this option controls the feed rate depending on the machining situation; Trochoidal milling – cycle for the roughing of slots and pockets in a way that eases the load on the tool and the machine.
