February 14, 2013 - HEIDENHAIN offers an online interactive training tool for CNC instruction called HIT (HEIDENHAIN Interactive Training). This training solution was designed to create an informative yet entertaining learning experience and teaches the most important elements of a CNC machine and imparts fundamental knowledge about CNC programming.
Three modules make up this learning solution: the HIT software, an online HEIDENHAIN programming station, and the HIT workbook, providing a relevant learning solution for qualified basic and advanced CNC training (see illustration). It also proves useful for people who are unfamiliar with CNC fundamentals. This can include vocational schools as well as those being retrained or master craftsmen who want to improve their machinists’ skills.
HIT’s entertaining software for qualified fundamental and advanced training explains programming with HEIDENHAIN controls, called TNCs (Touch Numeric Controls). HIT combines theoretical training with practical exercises, and therefore simplifies the beginning steps of programming.
Both a free demo version and single and multiple licenses are available for download.
