Bridging the Gap Between ACU-RITE® & HEIDENHAIN Controls!

HEIDENHAIN is not the premier company for measuring & feedback by accident. Their never ending R/D benefits companies by increasing their competitive edge & saving them money. Whenever we can utilize products such as bridging the gap between ACU-RITE® & HEIDENHAIN controls, we see that as a huge benefit.


ACU-RITE®, part of the HEIDENHAIN family ,now offers a "Bridge The Gap" adapter kit to pair HEIDENHAIN to ACU-RITE® controls.

ACU-RITE & HEIDENHAIN: Bridging the gap!

How does it work? The Bridge Adapter PCBA allows our Millpwr user base to interface a Millpwr or Turnpwr OEI console, or HEIDENHAIN's TNC 320 using the same AC system components ACU-RITE provides for bed mills.

The HEIDENHAIN TNC 320 Contouring Control:

  • 6 control loops, including up to 2 spindles

  • Convenient programming in HEIDENHAIN Klartext or with G codes

  • Extensive machining and touch-probe cycle packages

  • Fast block processing time (3 ms)

  • Analog control technology.

The HEIDENHAIN TNC 320 can be ordered for small machine tool applications, such as a VMC with a tool changer, or a simple upgrade solution for a machine where the iron is still good but has an outdated control.
