Programming stations for lathe and milling controls

The programming station avoids machine idle time by allowing programs to be created, tested, and optimized away from the machine. The programming station keyboard is based on the actual machine keyboard, so everything is familiar.

HEIDENHAIN programming stations are based on the same software used by the controls. Programming and program verification are done the same as on the machine. This raises the certainty that a program created on the programming station will run smoothly and without interruption in real life.

The programming station's detailed simulation graphics provide a precise and realistic machining preview. As a result, proper program entry, smooth machining processes, and desired surface quality can be checked before machining.

You can also operate the programming station software as a free demo version. No registration is necessary. The demo version can be used without time limits, and contains almost all of the control’s functions and allows short programs to be saved.

The Digital Twin is a realistic model of the machine on a programming station, thereby bringing the machine's real-life kinematics, parameters, and functions to the office. The HEIDENHAIN Service department creates a backup of the machine that can then be easily uploaded to the programming station.

The programming station runs completely autonomously within a virtual software environment. That way you can install several versions of the programming station on your PC. The entire installation process runs automatically on computers with a Windows operating system. Click here to find more information and the system requirements.
