USB DNC Unit

January 01, 2015

eNETDNC announces the release of its hard-wired USB DNC unit. These USB units communicate directly to the USB communication port on a machine tool from an Ethernet network. This enables the DNC system to communicate directly to a CNC that comes from the manufacturer with just a USB Port.

This cutting-edge advance in DNC technology gives customers that use PC-based controls such as Mazak Nexus the ability to enjoy all the tools that eNETDNC provides, such as file rev. control and 20,000V of surge protection while still being able to control the DNC from the office. Operators will also be able to view a directory listing at the CNC and transfer files with functionality that mimics a thumb drive for easy training.
