Heidenhain i530 Control – Diagnoses of Error Mikron 5 Axis CNC
EEC Ltd had an enquiry from a machining company to diagnose and fix Linear scale faults. We located the errors to X and Z axis linear scale faults on a Mikron 5 axis CNC Mill, fitted with Heidenhain i530 control.
EEC staff removed both X & Z axis linear high accuracy scales, carried out a full service on them, replaced the lip seals, recalibrate the linear scales and refitted them to the Mikron Mill. We also noticed and replace a damaged Z axis cable.
The customers’ machine was back up and running very quickly.
EEC carry 35 years’ experience, knowledge with specialised calibrated test equipment as an official Heidenhain distributor/service centre. We offer fast response, quality service and sales contracts

Heidenhain i530 Control – UK
Heidenhain i530 control – Programming
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 i530 control – Reliable simulations
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.
Heidenhain i530 controlRealistic simulation graphics
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.
Free demo version
For testing purposes, the programming station is also available in a demo version. It contains all of the control’s functions and can save short programs. Program length is limited, but all other functions are fully usable.
Digital Twin
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.
