Hello to all,
I am new here to cnc zone and I can't wait to utililize all of the info on here.
I have a 1993 VF3 that I have had for about 6 years now. I am drip feeding all my programs now via RS232. All my programs are complex 3d surfacing programs (Molds, and patterns), so my programs are around 50mb to 250mb in size. One program might run for 50 hours with 10 different tools. I am wondering if it is worth it to upgrade the memory on the machine and add ethernet/hdd or what my best option would be. The machine is just way to jumpy/jittery when running such complex programs via rs232. I am buying a 1998 milltronics that has a 256mb compact flash for hard drive and 256mb of ram, on this machine I will be able to load my large programs via ethernet to the hardrive and run from the controller without drip feeding. I would like to do the same with my haas if it is possible. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!!!
