eNETDNC - Cabled DNC

eNETDNC’s Ethernet based CNC file management system allows the user to connect CNC machine controls using an existing computer network. 

Reliable, secure, flexible and cost effective, eNETDNC manages all your program files. With eNETDNC you may choose either hardwired, wireless or a combination of both.

eNETDNC includes an industrial grade hardware DNC system with a full-featured CNC file editor. eNET Editor provides 2-D and 3-D back plotting, Smart File Compare and many more time-saving functions. eNET’s System Security protects CNC files from unapproved access while providing your machinists with all necessary downloading capabilities.

eNETDNC can be expanded to include machine monitoring and data collection.
Management can access real time status for any machine on the shop floor with eNET Machine-Monitoring.  Operators can communicate job-related information directly from their machines with eNET Data Collection.

Additional Features Available

Machining Monitoring
The machine monitoring features allows for collection of real-time production data directly from the machine controls. Machine downtimes, cycle times and part counts can all be reviewed remotely using the Machine Monitoring feature and your existing network. The graphical display allows for easy review of data.

Data Collection
In addition to the machine monitoring, the eNET DNC system can also be configured to include data collection capabilities. With the addition of our E-Terminal, the DNC system can be upgraded to a full featured data collection system allowing machine operators to communicate job-related information directly from their machine. This data can then be configured to upload into your existing shop floor management system.

Wireless Connections
In addition to the traditional network connection of your machine tools, we also offer a wireless connection. The wireless solution can be implemented to include all of the CNC machines or used in combination with the standard installation.
