Hello everyone,
I hope i can relay this information correctly and hopefully get some advise on here.
We have a Haas toolroom Mill TM-2 please forgive me i am a it consultant....
I have a little knowledge in tooling and CNC machinery.
Any ways here goes.
We have a drawing guy that makes up drawings in 3D on Autocad 2007.
Now when these are done they are printed out and then entered manually into our TM-2. This can take up to three days.....
So the owner of this small company has asked me for help in making this whole process faster.
Firstly we have ordered a comport cable from Southern africa and it never arrived so i have made a cable to suite and has been tested and is working .
Secondly we need some form of program to get the information off the Drawing machine to the TM-2 Machine how and what can we use?????
This machine is a windows Xp based computer with Service pack 3..
It has a com port onboard
It also has Autocad 2007
But thats about as far as my head can go in terms of joining these two computer driven devices ?
How do i get the computer to talk to the TM-2
How do we relay the drawing file to The TM-2 Haas machine
please can any one help.
We dont need the lastest software that costs alot we just need a simple and possibly cheap solution that can facilitate this whole process saving us three days of data entry into the machine via the control panel on the right hand side??
Hope to hear your responses.
Kind regards
Adam Saiyad
