Heidenhain (GB) product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Jan 19, 2001
Heidenhain now has a package comprising a CNC control system with integral motor control, inverter modules or compact inverters, motors with incremental motor encoders, and NC linear encoders
High surface definition, contour accuracy, and short machining cycles demanded by machine tool users can only be met by applying digital control concepts.
Now available from Heidenhain (GB) of Burgess Hill, West Sussex is a package of solutions comprising a CNC control system with integral motor control, inverter modules or compact inverters, motors with incremental motor encoders, and NC linear encoders.
The compact inverter is now available with external PWM connections and DC-link connection.
This enables problem-free connection to the TNC 426M contouring control for machining centres and milling machines with up to five-axes.
The external DC-link terminal also accommodates connection of a fifth-axis to the compact inverter.
The Heidenhain program of modular design inverters has also been expanded.
With the UV 140, Heidenhain now offers a potent energy-recovery power module.
It has a DC-link continuous output of 45 kW and peak power of 65 kW for four minutes, with a cycle of 10 minutes.
The UM 114 is a larger power module with a continuous load of 75 A.
This enables spindle power values up to 30 kW to be accommodated.

Novel sensors improve probing accuracy
Workpiece probe features an innovative design to create a low probing force along with an infra-red system to transmit the trigger signal to the machine control. -
System provides good images of small objects
The camera develops a large depth of field as optical magnification is minimal, meaning that 3D object images are 'sharp' on all surfaces. -
Encoders offer speed and accuracy
The Heidenhain Era 4000 series of encoders is suited to use in highly dynamic applications where measurement within a few angular seconds is a pre-requisite. -
Milling machine allows prepping operations
A refurbished TNC retrofitter is playing a key role in the supply of 11,700 stringers destined for the Airbus range of aircraft.
