Biesse Rover 321R CNI Compact XNC
Hi all, I need some help from one of you guys who have one of these machines. I have one of the first MultiCam machines I’ve been using since 97. Still going but is limited to its capabilities. Had an offer for a Rover 321R dirt cheap from another cabinet makers "fire sale", so I took it. Now I’m trying to learn this thing and am finding it a little difficult. Nothing like the Multicam (plugs direct to my PC, using AutoCAD and ToolPath). From what info I can get from the net, connecting the Biesse to a PC is very difficult (although the manual is not specific). The previous owner is unavailable for info but what i have found out is that it did come with a dongle that's can't be found. I have all the manuals (actually measured them at 110mm) and software (controller software on 11 floppy's and CNI Informatica on CD).
What I’m after is if anybody can tell me if it’s possible to connect it to a PC and if so, how?
Is there a way around the dongle issue or a cheap way to replace it?
And if I have to resort to coding, is there a resource with some good learning tools?
I’m reading the manuals but any extra info would be appreciated.:drowning:
Measure twice, cut once and if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
