Opt for Accuracy KinematicsOpt software option for iTNC 530 contouring control with a mounted touch probe in the CNC machine spindle increases accuracy and can control up to 13 axes and a spindle. From measured values, iTNC 530 calculates statistical tilting accuracy, with the software minimizing the spatial error arising from the tilting movements. At the end of the measurement cycle, the machine geometry is saved in the respective machine constants of the kinematic table. Heidenhain 847/490-1191 www.heidenhain.us
