PCMDIS/NC Expereinces?

Danny
Hi all,

Have been given the task of getting PCDMIS NC going on one of our machining centres for an demonstration here in Australia.

Would love to hear from anyone with prior experience using this software, and more importantly the NC server application.

Have been trying in vain to set up comms between the PC and M/C, followed the instructions and succesfully verified comms using HyperTerminal, but upon opening NC Server and defining a machine and specifying the serial type interface, I get the error message "Cannot Open Serial Port".

As far as I can tell, I have followed instructions to the letter, but to no avail.

Would appreciate anyones comments on the possible solution to this problem.

Cheers, and have a lovely weekend.

  • I am using it.

    If your problem is part set-up (refine work offsets or rotary table angles), there are many more solution other than PC-DMIS. If your issue is buying hardware directly off of the machine tool, PC-DMIS is a very good tool for you.

    But before you get started, you have to know how accurate your machine tool really is. If you do not regularly calibrate, forget to use your machine tool and stay with your CMM.

    If you know what your machine can do and you find parts that require complicated prcessing, NC can help you a lot.
