* Data Relay Point

  • Manufacturing shops create a very high level of radio frequency (RF) interference. WireFreeShop® products work well in this environment. Using the 2.4Ghz range approved by the FCC for Wi-Fi transmission, WireFreeShop® products have been installed on Plasma cutters, Arc Welders, Wire EDM machines and a wide variety of CNC machine tools without ANY interference issues.

  • Access Point with 8dB Omni Directional antenna. (Note no 110VAC power needed at ceiling location)

  • No WIRES... makes for a very clean installation.

  • CNC machines can easily be moved to facilitate cell manufacturing concepts.

  • The systems and machines are protected from power surges that cause expensive downtime even including lightning strikes.

  • Overhead cranes make it difficult or sometimes impossible to string wires.

  • Wireless Radio signals are refracted and have good propagation in the shop floor environment.

  • WireFreeCNC® device can be mounted internally on most CNC controls while keeping the RS232 port available for other uses.

 

Features & Benefits

  • DNC system keeps operators productive at the CNC machines.

  • High speed file transfer to and from machines using 128-bit WEP encryption and and multi-honing for security.

  • Wireless Infrastructure (DRP) allows laptops, PDA's, barcode scanners and other Wi-Fi enabled devices to connect.

  • The wires shown in the network setup below can be eliminated through the use of WireFreeShop® devices.

By installing the WireFreeCNC® system connected to our central network server we were able to get control of our programs and have the ability to move machines around the shop without expensive rewiring. CNC Computer Integration,LLC provided all the support needed in order to get the system up and running. They also were available to us to deal with any networking or configuration problems we encountered during start up.
