CNC PILOT 640: turning without compromises

The CNC PILOT from HEIDENHAIN delivers intuitive operation, innovative programming,
intelligent user support and superb motion control, making it the perfect control for lathes,
turn-mill machines and high-performance turning centers.
This versatile control can be used on horizontal, vertical and carousel lathes, including
machines with driven tools, a Y and B axis, a main and counter spindle, and a C axis or
positionable spindle. It also supports multi-channel machining for simultaneous machining
steps on multiple machine slides.

CNC PILOT 640: combined versatility and high performance
Up to 3 channels for asynchronous multi-slide machining
Superb motion control based on top-notch TNC milling control technology
 Ability to import part programs from all prior versions
 Automatic program creation with TURN PLUS (up to 90% faster) Intuitive and easy-to-learn shopfloor programming Extensive cycles, even in the standard model (e.g., skiving, trochoidal millingand complex turning operations with FreeTurn tools) 5-axis simultaneous machining In-process tool wear and breakage detectionField-proven machining cycles

The CNC PILOT 640 is equipped with anextensive package of cycles, including
cycles for high-quality turning, milling anddrilling. Even complex machining operations
such as multiple plunging, simultaneousmachining, trochoidal milling and hobbing
can be programmed in canned cycles.

Using a B axis makes it possible to perform
drilling and milling operations in obliqueplanes. The CNC PILOT 640 makes it easy
for you to rotate the coordinate system tothe desired angle while still programming
the machining operation in the main plain.
The machining operation is then executedin the tilted working plane.
