In Booth E-135226, Heidenhain Corporation (Schaumburg, IL) will demonstrate a live presentation of Connected Machining, a package of components and systems to support end users introducing digital order management in their production processes to increase competitiveness. This includes the use of a TNC 640 control on a high precision 5-axis machine tool. New StateMonitor software focuses on the evaluation of machine data that was acquired during the operation of machine tools by the Heidenhain TNC or other CNC controls with the MTConnect protocol interface. This can also be monitored online utilizing mobile devices via a secure IT structure. The demonstration will show how the use of these systems results in concrete solutions for analyzing and reducing downtimes so that end users can significantly increase competitiveness. Special emphasis will be placed on metal removal rates, productivity and accuracy while supporting the machine operator through full access to manufacturing IT. Five-axis application engineers will be on site explaining the new TNC features and cutting a high precision 5-axis part.
