Heidenhain (TNC) controls are favored on high-precision milling and mold machines, especially in Europe, and pair naturally with Heidenhain's own linear scales for closed-loop accuracy. The conversational TNC programming is popular with mold and toolmakers.
A Heidenhain TNC with linear scales signals a precision machine; the TNC generation (530, 640, and newer) indicates its 5-axis and high-speed capability, which feeds into value.
