I don't really see anywhere to post about hardware so I think this is as good as it gets.
Long story short I want to upgrade our current Optiv 2z763. This machine has been awesome for what we use it for. This is a vision and a touch probe machine. None of the programmers at my facility had ever used the CAD feature of PC-Dmis CAD++. I however am slightly more tech savvy and was able to learn how to export our engineering models from Solidworks to PC-Dmis with no problems at all and have since somewhat preferred to program this way using CAD models. However, the issue that I run into that is very much a headache is CPU/RAM power. I find when I am uploading, manuevering, programming, analyzing data all on my PC it is suspetable to crashes and freezing.
I noticed after a short time that the PC we run our machine on runs in 32-bit!
I was told by the man that calibrates our machine that this bottle neck is due to what they call the "Frame Grabber"
Does anyone know if you can run 64-bit with a vision machine nowadays?
This machine is almost 7 years old.
