High level of interest:
The HMI portfolio

Product Manager Michael Weber talked to many visitors about the three new hardware variants of the TNC7. The first stop for many visitors to the HEIDENHAIN booth was the HMI portfolio pedestal featuring the TNC7 basic.

Practical expertise:
The TNC7 at the TNC Club

Using fully functional demo controls at the TNC Club booth, HEIDENHAIN Trainer Wolfgang Dufter showed Club members and non-members alike just how easy, efficient and reliable it is to work with the TNC7.

Popular with upcoming machinists:
Intuitive touchscreen operation

As a CNC control featuring the intuitive touchscreen operation of a smartphone, the TNC7, presented by the HEIDENHAIN Training Center team, was a big hit among the young visitors to the AMB youth exhibit. 

Get a closer look at your tool edges with the new VT 122 measuring camera

Check and evaluate tool edges on the screen of your monitor.

Stay productive longer by detecting tool breakage with the TD 110

Seamlessly detect broken tools during your manufacturing process. AMB visitors saw this demonstrated with the TD 110 tool breakage detector. By moving tools of various sizes past the TD 110, visitors could witness how the sensor's light accurately indicated each tool's status as either intact or broken.

99% smaller carbon footprint: HEIDENHAIN encoders with TRUE IMAGE TECHNOLOGY

Product Manager Thilo Schlicksbier demonstrated the light-guiding element of our TRUE IMAGE TECHNOLOGY as found in the LC and RNC encoders. First, visitors could see how a drop of liquid on the demo unit's scale distorted the scale's image. Then, visitors could deploy the light-guiding element to achieve an accurate reading.
