DNC

Direct Numerical Control is also known as Distributed Numerical Control is a common manufacturing term for networking CNC machine tools.

The can imply either the transfer of partial data blocks to controls with small memory to create a complex parts (as in a CAM machine center), or the transfer of data from an offline computer to the CNC control - like in a CNC bender.

Many of our Benderlink software packages will allow you to program a bender at an offline computer, then send the data directly to the bender. For example: Benderlink for Chiyoda, Keins, MiiC, and Eaton Leonard are all packages capable of DNC with benders.
