CNC Training Centre offers Heidenhain training both on-site and off-site. The Heidenhain TNC control has been around since the 1970’s and similar to Mazak it was well ahead of its time.
Heidenhain is a lot more friendly to the user than some controls. A lot of controls will allow you to basically input any old shit and then try and run the code. With these types of control nothing is really monitoring what you are inputting. Not until you actually run the program do you start to get alarms flying around everywhere.
Whenever I train people, I would guess under 35, they have this real instinct to just type and press buttons at lightening speed. Now this is great when you are playing space invader or whatever. Sorry I am not well up on computer games.
You see the thing is now most software is very intuitive and programmers and interface designers have done an amazing job. We download an app or some free software and we fiddle around with it and soon its all working. The idea is you just experiment until you get it working. It’s designed with this in mind.
Take Microsoft word as an example. How many of you have actually been on a training course? Exactly none of you.
But everyday we all use it with great success.
Anyway start doing this on a CNC machine and bang crash wallop, you end up with a lost limb and a pile of scrap metal. And I didn’t even mention the busted tool and the machine that needs a £2000 re alignment. Anyway you get my drift.
CNC machines are just not that way at all. I mean yea there are a few exceptions but still you really need professional instruction. Sorry rambling again sign up today for a Heidenhain Training Course.
Category : Edgecam
It is really annoying when you simulate a part and you can’t figure out why Edgecam is showing a collision and you don’t know why.
When using the ROUGHING CYCLE it is important to tell Edgecam that the tool is centre cutting as this will change the cutter path.
Tick this box if the cutter is centre cutting. Most modern endmills do cut on centre so you can plunge them down.
It’s important because if you get this wrong in the real world the cutter will get very hot!
