Network-enabling CNC Machines

Customer:
Machine Automation Systems Company

Motive
Automated factories often have computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines in their production line. Conventionally, CNC computer programming needed the use of serial cables or floppy disks to transfer instruction code. Attaching bothersome serial cables or inserting floppy disks can become quite cumbersome and inefficient.

By making use of any one of Sena Technologies serial device servers, machine automation systems manufacturers will have the ability to network enable various CNC equipment, which will allow for program download from any PC in the network to the CNC machine, as if the CNC were directly attached directly to the PC's COM port.
