February 2023
Dear IndustryArena member (Member),

the year has picked up speed and your diary is certainly already well filled. However, there is another important date to keep in mind: Valentines Day is coming up, so don't forget to buy or prepare a gift. Or maybe you make something beautiful yourself with your machine(s)?

Valentine Day

In our February newsletter we have little less warmhearting but no less interesting news for you: We want to introduce you a more efficient way to define your workpiece blank in the machine coordinate system with the TNC7 from Heidenhain. We have an exciting article on how to harness the power of AI and some recommendations for a spindle repair service and for CNC machine brands. In addition, as always, you will find some CNC videos and news from our forums.


Topics in this newsletter:

Full support for the user: new 6D graphical workpiece measurement with the HEIDENHAIN TNC7

6D graphical workpiece measurement with the HEIDENHAIN TNC7

Discover a more efficient way to define your workpiece blank in the machine coordinate system. The TNC7 delivers new probing functions and graphical 6D measurement support that guide you step-by-step through the process. It even works on complex freeform and pre-machined parts. Arrows on your touchscreen help you with probing, and an intuitive traffic-light system tells you when the workpiece and its alignment are fully defined. Once it’s green, you’re ready to machine.
