SZGH-CNC1000TDc-5 — High-Performance 5-Axis CNC Lathe & Turning Center Controller

CNC1000TDc Series — Choosing the Right Model

The CNC1000TDc series covers entry-level to full 5-axis CNC lathe and turning center control. Use the table below to identify the correct model for your axis count and feature requirements.

Three Variants — Standard / Absolute / High-Performance

The CNC1000TDc-5 is offered in three variants to match different axis feedback and precision requirements. All three share the same 5-axis platform, 8.4" display, dual analog spindle, ATC/PLC/macro, and USB interface.

Key Specifications

Auto Tool Setter & Probe Support — What It Means for Your Machine

Auto tool setter and probe support is the feature that most distinguishes the TDc-5 from the rest of the CNC1000TDc series. When an automatic tool setter or on-machine measurement probe is wired to the controller's input, the CNC1000TDc-5 can:

• Measure tool length automatically — after a tool change, the controller moves the tool to the setter, measures the offset, and writes the value directly into the tool offset table without manual input

• Detect broken or worn tools — by comparing measured tool length to the reference value at each cycle, the system flags tools that are broken, chipped, or outside tolerance before they cut a bad part

• Automate workpiece probing — when a workpiece measurement probe is fitted, the controller can locate the workpiece, calculate datum offsets, and update the work offset registers in the same cycle

For production turning cells, automation equipment, and multi-axis turning centers where tool management is a primary efficiency driver, auto tool setter integration through the TDc-5 replaces a significant amount of manual measurement and operator intervention per shift.

What the 5th Axis Enables

On a CNC lathe or turning center, a 5th controlled axis extends the machine's capability in several practical ways:

Key Features

1. 5-axis control — X/Z plus three additional controlled axes; supports configurations including X/Z/C/Y/A, X/Z/C/B/sub-spindle, and custom OEM axis assignments

2. Auto tool setter / probe — direct integration with tool length measurement hardware and workpiece probing; eliminates manual tool offset entry on production turning lines

3. Three selectable variants — Standard, Absolute, and High-Performance types within the same platform; select the feedback method that matches your machine hardware and precision requirements

4. 2ms high-speed interpolation — maintains smooth axis motion and surface finish quality at full 5-axis coordination

5. Dual analog spindle (0–10V, 2 channels) — independent analog outputs for main spindle and sub-spindle control on dual-spindle turning centers

6. Open PLC (online display / monitor / design) — modify machine logic, interlocks, and I/O without proprietary tools; supports machine builders, OEM integrators, and maintenance engineers

7. C-axis positioning and rigid tapping — spindle interpolation for C-axis positioning, rigid tapping cycles, and thread cutting across all supported thread forms

8. USB DNC + macro programming — run programs from USB flash drive; build complex fixed cycles using macro variables and input-point-triggered routines to reduce per-part programming time

9. 2MHz pulse output — 1μm default pulse equivalent supports high-resolution servo drives across all 5 axes

10. Screw and backlash compensation — built-in pitch error compensation and reverse backlash compensation for each axis

ATC, Threading & Spindle

The TDc-5 carries forward the full turret, threading, and spindle feature set from the TDc platform:

• ATC (Automatic Tool Changer) support — compatible with all four turret types: Electric, Binary, Servo, and Special; covers powered and non-powered turret configurations used on CNC lathes and turning centers across all major manufacturers

• Dual threading modes — Following Mode and Interpolate Mode; supports standard threads, taper threads, variable-pitch threads, and multi-start threads

• C-axis positioning — spindle-as-axis function for angular positioning and C-axis-driven live tooling on turning centers with driven-tool capability

• Rigid tapping — synchronized spindle-to-Z-axis cycle for rigid tapping without a floating chuck; reduces tap breakage and improves thread quality on production parts

• Dual analog spindle — two 0–10V analog outputs allow independent speed command for main and sub-spindle on dual-spindle turning centers

Applications

The SZGH-CNC1000TDc-5 is suited to any turning machine or automation cell requiring five independently controlled axes:
