Straight-Cut Control for Milling, Drilling, Boring

Heidenhain’s TNC 128 straight-cut CNC is designed for use with milling, drilling and boring machines. The control is said to be user-friendly with helpful graphics, practical prompts, and machining and coordinate transformation cycles during program creation. NC conversational keys on the operating panel ease program entry. The compact control features an integrated 12.1" TFT color flat-panel display, which is housed in a stainless steel operating panel along with the TNC and the main computer featuring a Celeron dual-core 1.4 GHz CPU.
