Hello everyone! I need imformation on updating from printing programs on 1 inch black nc tape to loading programs to machine from my pc. I have a 1985 Elox/Fanuc model Q wire cut with a Fanuc System P Model G programmer. As of now I'm punching my wire path on to the black tape and then transfering it to the machine. Well The black nc tape is getting harder to find. Soon they'll stop making it. I can hook up my programmer directly to my wire maching but storing the programs will have to be on 5 1/4 floppies.. Those are just as old fashing as the tape... I searched the web and saw a few programs I can download but they don't tell me if they are compatable for my machine... Also I'm looking for a program that works like my Fanuc programmer , conversational type. It does all the g coding for me! Im running a Fanuc FAPT CUT program... Is the PC FAPT the same type of software but for a pc computer.. Any information will be very helpful since I'm not to inturn with whats out there... Thanks.. hope to hear something soon...
