DNC software

[Mfg_Engineer]

I am looking at adding DNC software. I have looked at Shop Floor Automations/Predator and CIMCO, but the price is surprisingly higher than expected. All my machines are ethernet/network capable. I want the DNC mainly for document control purposes. ( ISO/AS certifications in the near future). Any suggestions on a reasonably priced DNC software?

dnc4u - out of Great Britain. Low cost. Good support. Nice UI. Highly configurable.
Keeps a log of all transfers. Have used it for years.

I too am using DNC4U and like it. Cost is reasonable and support is good. Moving my license from one PC to another required vendor support but it was a breeze when I needed to do it. You can try before you buy.

Yup I recommend DNC4U. Price was good and support was good the few times I had a question.

Its simple, has a great function to merge multiple files which I use for cutting electrodes on multiple 3R chucks.

I use Quick-Link from Microcimm. Not expensive at all, and pretty simple to use. Great editor, too.

How many machines are you needing to DNC to?
I used Cimco DNC Max about 20 years ago. It was pretty good from what I remember.

Would setting up an FTP server like Filezilla do what you need? It's free.

eNETDNC has been really good for our shop

I use software from https://dncsoftware.com because it has X-Modem support to provide error-free transfer to my Fadal VMC. I've been using the same version for more than 10 years. Flawless..
