Thanks to its flexible operating concept – workshop-oriented programmability with HEIDENHAIN conversational programming or external programming – and its scope of features, it is especially suited for use on universal milling, drilling and boring machines for series and single-part production tool and die making manufacture of machines research and development prototype production and testing facilities repair departments educational and training institutes The TFT 15-inch color monitor shows a clear overview of all relevant information for programming, operating and inspecting the machine tool and control such as program blocks, comments and error messages. More information is provided through graphic support during program entry, test run and actual machining. The selectable split-screen display shows the part program blocks in one half of the screen and the graphics or the status display in the other half.

For many years now, the MANUALplus has been proving itself in daily use on cycle lathes and is characterized particularly by convenient manual machine operation. Application-oriented cycle programming enables the machinist to create and edit programs rapidly and effi ciently on the lathe. The introduction of the MANUALplus 620 extends the area of application to single-spindle CNC lathes. With the smart.Turn operating mode, HEIDENHAIN has made yet another step forward toward greater ease of use. Easily understandable program entry in forms, default setting for global values, selection options and straightforward graphic support ensure fast and easy operation. The new smart.Turn interface is based on the proven HEIDENHAIN DIN PLUS: smart.Turn creates DIN PLUS programs and provides both the NC programmer and the machine operator with all relevant information during program run.

The CNC PILOT is characterized by its simple operation and programming.

Angle encoder modules from HEIDENHAIN are combinations of angle encoders and high-precision bearings that are optimally adjusted to each other. They are characterized by their high degree of measuring and bearing accuracy, their very high resolution, and the highest degree of repeatability. The low starting torque permits smooth motions. Due to their design as completely specified and tested composite components, handling and installation is very simple. Setup Since HEIDENHAIN manufactures the bearings as well as the encoders, the two functional assemblies are highly integrated. Fewer components are necessary than in conventional solutions, resulting in fewer joints. This permits a very compact and rigid design, with particularly low overall heights. Currently, angle encoder modules with hollow shafts of 35 mm and 100 mm are available.

Exposed linear encoders are designed for use on machines and installations that require high accuracy of the measured value. Typical applications include: Measuring and production equipment in the semiconductor industry PCB assembly machines Ultra-precision machines High-accuracy machine tools Measuring machines and comparators, measuring microscopes, and other precision measuring devices Direct drives Our standard encoders are suitable for use in a low or medium vacuum. Encoders used for applications in a high or ultrahigh vacuum need to fulfill special requirements. Design and materials used have to be specially adapted for it. For more information, refer to the Technical Information document Linear Encoders for Vacuum Technology. The following exposed linear encoders are specially adapted for use in high and ultrahigh vacuum environments. • High vacuum: LIP 481 V and LIF 481 V • High vacuum: LIC 4113 V and LIC 4193 V • Ultrahigh vacuum: LIP 481 U

Angle encoder modules from HEIDENHAIN are combinations of angle encoders and high-precision bearings that are optimally adjusted to each other. They are characterized by their high degree of measuring and bearing accuracy, their very high resolution, as well as optimum repeatability. The low starting torque permits smooth motions. SRP angle encoder modules are additionally equipped with an integrated torque motor. They therefore combine a motor, precision bearing and encoder with very high accuracy in one compact system. The torque motor with its very low detent torque enables extraordinarily smooth motion control. Neither disruptive detent torques nor radial forces impair the high guideway accuracy of the bearing. Thanks to their design as completely specifi ed and tested composite assemblies, handling and installation is very simple.

The angle encoders without integral bearing (modular angle encoders) ERP, ERO and ERA consist of two components—a scanning head and a graduation carrier, which must be aligned with each other during mounting. The eccentricity of the shaft as well as installation and adjustment therefore have a decisive effect on the achievable accuracy. Modular angle encoders are available with various graduation carriers. The vacuum-compatible encoders are distinguished by the following features: • Air vents • Production in a clean room • Specialized cleaning and packaging • Cable with PTFE insulation and tin-plated copper braiding

In rotary encoders with integral bearing and stator coupling, the graduated disk of the encoder is connected directly to the shaft to be measured. The scanning unit is guided on the shaft via ball bearings, supported by the stator coupling. During angular acceleration of the shaft, the stator coupling must absorb only that torque resulting from friction in the bearing, thereby minimizing both static and dynamic measuring error. Moreover, the coupling mounted on the stator compensates axial motion of the measured shaft. Other benefits of the stator coupling are: Simple mounting Short overall length High natural frequency of coupling Hollow-through shaft possible

The angle encoders without integral bearing (modular angle encoders) are intended for integration in machine elements or apparatuses. They are suited for the following requirements: — Large hollow shaft diameter (up to 10 m with a scale tape) — High shaft speeds up to 20000 rpm — No additional starting torque from shaft seals — Segment solutions Field of application: High-resolution rotary axes with high reproducibility — Very high number of signal periods — Small mounting space — Small interpolation error and low signal noise
