Haas upgrade - Ethernet or USB?


Recommended Posts

 I have several older Haas machines in the shop. With all the new dynamic and high feed tool paths, programs are getting longer, and now some programs are taking over 2 hours to transfer via RS-232. Should I upgrade to Ethernet or USB? I have a USB to RS-232 box by Shop Floor Automations that works well, but it still limits upload speed to what the RS-232 port on the machine can handle.

Yes but ethernet and a lancnc from calmotion... it's like having a little computer at the machine. Drop the program in the folder, DNC with the machine.

 

I vote ethernet you will save the money you spend quickly. I'm doing it on a fadal and a mori, the minute the real computers take a crap at the haas and the mazak they will get lancnc's from calmotion.
