Reduced carbon footprint and TCO: controls and encoders from HEIDENHAIN make your shop floor greener

Today’s manufacturing challenges involve producing longer, faster and with greater quality while conserving resources. To reach these goals, machinists need faster material removal combined with perfect machining results and a smaller carbon footprint from the very first part onward. Intelligent solutions from HEIDENHAIN unlock more potential for maximum performance, process reliability and cost efficiency. Speeding up the cutting time while minimizing non-cutting time can reduce the energy consumed per part:
• OCM implements next-generation trochoidal milling for HEIDENHAIN controls. Compared with conventional processes, this option accelerates machining times while reducing tool turnover by a factor of three for many types of workpieces. The control always calculates the optimal trochoidal strategy, thereby taking a major step toward sustainability. OCM is also fast and easy to program directly on the control.
• Model Aided Setup (MAS) reduces non-cutting time by simplifying and accelerating the setup of complex workpieces, thereby helping users achieve perfect machining results
• HEIDENHAIN touch probes also reduce non-cutting time. Saving up to one second per probing cycle, the aggregate effect of the TS 460’s high-end sensor is a significant reduction in non-cutting time
• The TD 110 tool breakage detector reduces non-cutting time and raises process reliability. In-process tool breakage inspection occurs up to five seconds faster than state-of-the-art conventional solutions and ensures that broken tools are no longer used
• The new LC and RCN series encoders for machine tools feature a more than 99% smaller carbon footprint with the same reliability and quality thanks to optimized optics that eliminate the need for purge air
