In order to remain compétitive in today's lean manufacturing environment it is vital for businesses to improve production efficiency. A key factor in achieving this goal is faster easier and more reliable shop floor communications.
By using Ethernet based communication and data management tools that deliver up-to-the-minute information on the part production process, companies can work more effectively with faster more reliable CNC file management
and storage. A DNC solution helps streamline operations by providing fast and reliable data transfer and automatic
revision control for component specific data.
Edgecam's scalable DNC solutions are based around a Smart Communications Device (SCD). This hardware adaptor is
attached to each machine tool to control the transfer of
NC files between the network and the machine. It not only
ensures the fastest, most reliable communication solution
possible, but also eliminates the need for slow RS232 cabling, additional shop floor PCs or expensive terminals.
