TNC 620 Control Now with Touchscreen Tech- nology —HEIDENHAIN The TNC 620 control with touch- screen is operated by gestures, similar to smartphones or tablet PCs. The operator can navigate quickly and in- tuitively through long lists, programs, tables and other content by what is known as kinetic scrolling. A slow, brief swiping movement results in scrolling over a few lines; a longer and quick movement leads to dynamic scrolling over many lines. With a short tap, the user can stop the dynamic scrolling at any time. That makes it possible to easily find, for example, an NC block or a tool in long NC programs or tool tables. In the 3-D test mode, zooming in and out as well as moving and rotating objects is particularly helpful. Further, a pop-up keyboard appears for text input. The new MC 8410 main computer with touchscreen technol- ogy in the TNC 620 corresponds to the MC 7410 in the prior solution with this functionality. For the machine builder, a newly designed machine control panel MB 721 with or without functional safety is also available with the touchscreen, and features three op- tional elements that can be assigned to additional keys, key switches or a USB connection. The previous MC 7410 has also been revised and is now available in a new variant. It can be used with the new MB 721 (FS). This enables the OEM to use the MB 721 (FS) as a standard and choose between the MC 8410 with touchscreen or the conven- tional MC 7410 main computer. Both units have an Intel Celeron Ivy Bridge processor, Dual Core with 1.4 GHz and 2 GB RAM memory. On the software side of the TNC 620, the large range of standard cycles for milling, drilling and boring machines and optional probing func- tionality remain compatible with older control versions. The TNC 620 comes standardized as 4-axis control. \
