Heidenhain ND 780 series

Product Description

The ND 780 digital readout is especially suited for use on milling, drilling and boring machines and lathes with up to three axes. A separate I/O unit provides switching
input/outputs for simple tasks in automation.

Design
The ND 780 digital readout is designed as a sturdy upright unit with splash-proof fulltravel keypad for use in a workshop. It is equipped with a monochrome fl at screen for position values, dialog and input displays, graphic functions and graphic positioning support.

Functions
The ND 780 readout is characterized by its plain language dialog guidance. The distance-to-go display facilitates positioning. You approach the next position quickly and reliably by simply moving until the display reads “zero”. The functions for each application are easily activated by parameter input. Special functions are available for producing hole patterns (linear patterns and circular patterns). Datums can be determined quickly and accurately with an edge fi nder. The ND 780 readout supports you with special probing
functions.

You can easily switch between radius and diameter display when the position display is confi gured for turning. The readout also offers support for lathes with separate top
slide: The sum display feature allows you to display the saddle and top slides together or separately. To set a datum, touch the workpiece and freeze the tool position. Then retract and measure the workpiece.

Data interfaces
The ND 780 has an RS-232-C/V.24 serial interface for measured value transfer to a PC or printer, for input/output of parameters and compensation value lists, and for diagnostics.
