en.Wedoany.com Reported - Germany's HEIDENHAIN, marking the 50th anniversary of its CNC system development, has launched the new TNC7 select CNC system. The system made its global debut at the CCMT 2026 exhibition, focusing on the core requirements of 5-axis simultaneous machining, combining a compact design with powerful performance. This system is specifically built for high-performance 5-axis machining centers, aiming to provide 5-axis simultaneous machining solutions, with the core goals of achieving machining accuracy, surface quality, and reliable performance. It inherits the characteristics of HEIDENHAIN's TNC series, possessing the computing power to handle complex contour toolpath calculations and 5-axis interpolation requirements, and is equipped with the TNC7 user interface. Its compact hardware design, while ensuring full functionality, also makes it a choice for machine tools with space optimization requirements.
The design of the TNC7 select is based on current working modes in the manufacturing industry. As CAM programming becomes a preliminary step, the shop floor requires a control core capable of executing machining programs efficiently and stably. The TNC7 select optimizes the final link from programming to production, allowing users to quickly start machining programs generated by the CAM system after completing clamping and tool setting. It particularly emphasizes the process stability of 5-axis machining, paired with an operating interface to meet the demands of global machine tool manufacturers and end-users for a CNC system that integrates into digital manufacturing processes and enhances shop floor execution efficiency.
The system features a 16-inch full HD multi-touch screen, saving control cabinet space and suitable for compact machine tool designs. The system can be quickly adapted and integrated into existing machine tool systems, simplifying integration and commissioning work for OEMs. Functions are centered around the core requirements of 5-axis machining, with a clear interface logic that lowers the barriers to learning and operation. The system is equipped with data interfaces for connecting to host management systems and digital production environments.
Applicable processes include milling, drilling, and optional forming machining. The number of controlled axes is up to 8 control loops. Programming methods are HEIDENHAIN Klartext conversational format or ISO programming. NC program memory is 7.7 GB, with block processing time less than 1.5 ms. Input resolution and display step are as fine as 0.01 μm. The display is a 16-inch full HD touchscreen, and the operating panel is a compact machine operating panel or keyboard. Dynamic high precision, probing functions, and OPC UA interface are all software options.
The system supports comprehensive 5-axis milling, capable of machining complex geometries; efficient and precise drilling, achieving drilling cycles with high repeat accuracy; dynamic high precision and vibration damping, ensuring accuracy and surface quality during high speeds and trajectory changes; intelligent tool management (TCPM) simplifying tool positioning settings in multi-axis machining; and an accuracy optimization suite (KinematicsOpt optional) that can automatically detect and compensate for rotary axis errors.
The launch of Germany's HEIDENHAIN TNC7 select CNC system is the result of technological accumulation and market insight. Deeply optimized for the core processes of modern 5-axis machining, it will provide global manufacturers with a core control choice, helping them achieve continuous breakthroughs in the field of precision machining.
