CNC PILOT 620, Software and

Features

This manual describes functions that are available in the CNC PILOT

with NC software number 688 945-01.

The programming of smart.Turn and DIN PLUS are not included in this

manual. These functions are described in the User's Manual for

smart.Turn and DIN PLUS Programming (ID 685 556-xx). Please

contact HEIDENHAIN if you require a copy of this manual.

The machine manufacturer adapts the features offered by the control

to the capabilities of the specific machine tool by setting machine

parameters. Therefore, some of the functions described in this manual

may not be among the features provided by the CNC PILOT on your

machine tool.

Some of the CNC PILOT functions that are not available on every

machine are:

Positioning of spindle (M19) and driven tool

Operations with the C or Y axis

Please contact your machine manufacturer for detailed information on

the features that are supported by your machine tool.

Many machine manufacturers and HEIDENHAIN offer programming

courses. We recommend these courses as an effective way of

improving your programming skill and sharing information and ideas

with other CNC PILOT users.

HEIDENHAIN also offers the PC software DataPilot MP620 or

DataPilot CP 620 for personal computers, which is designed to

simulate the functions of the MANUALplus 620 control and

CNC PILOT 620. The DataPilot is suitable for both shop-floor

programming as well as off-location program creation and testing. It is

also ideal for training purposes. The DataPilot can be run on

WINDOWS operating systems.

Intended place of operation

The CNC PILOT complies with the limits for a Class A device in

accordance with the specifications in EN 55022, and is intended for

use primarily in industrially-zoned areas.

Legal information

This product uses open source software. Further information is
