Contouring Control

    Aug. 24, 2006
    The TNC 320 is a full-function control that incorporates the best features of the high-end iTNC 530 control, including the ability to control five axes, but costs less.

    An analog drive interface makes it suited for existing drive systems on retrofit applications, and one-piece construction minimizes cable runs. A 15-in. TFT color flat-panel monitor displays programming graphics and on-screen user support. A powerful main computer includes many onboard cycles to simplify most machining operations, including drilling, milling, and workpiece probing.
