PtSA SHORT COURSE [04.015]
Heidenhain 3+2 Axis Programming
Short course description and information
The course covers the tilting functions of the Heidenhain TNC control for machines with swivel heads and/or tilting tables. Typical applications are, for example, oblique holes or contours in an oblique plane. The TNC always tilts the machining plane around the active datum and you then program the part in a reference plane. The TNC functions for tilting the working plane are coordinate transformations. The working plane is always perpendicular to the direction of the tool axis.
Objectives
The objective of the course is to teach the learners the use of tilting functions available in the Heidenhain TNC control.
Duration
5 Full days at a regional PtSA Centre of Excellence
Cost
*R 12 625 (excl. VAT) per attendee
