Contouring control offered with touchscreen technology

The compact TNC 620 contouring control from Heidenhain now offers touchscreen technology. It is operated by gestures, similar to a smartphone or tablet.

The operator can navigate quickly through long lists, programs, and tables. 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.
