Advanced Machine Interface BTR
Interfaces for older NC/CNC Machine Controls
We sell the Advanced Machine Interface (AMI) which is a Universal Behind the Tape Reader (BTR) adapter. This allows most all NC/CNC machines to be connected to computers via RS232 or RS422. AMI is the best BTR available today.
Buy a BTR NOW - Call us for a SUPER DNC Deal! Tape readers and punchers cost a fortune to maintain and repair. Tape is now scarce and prices are skyrocketing for CNC memory.
Key Benefits for an AMI BTR:
 | They do not wear out |
| They eliminate Punched Tape errors |
| Minimize lost production time caused by tape errors or lost tapes |
| Machines can run very large programs directly from the interface (standard memory is equivalent to 1,000' of tape) |
| Far lower cost than adding more memory to your CNC machine |
| Gives your older machine an RS232 port to connect to any DNC system |
| Load older machine's "executive tapes" electronically |

ADR_FTP® DNC Server for Windows
ADR has developed a Windows FTP DNC server package specifically for use by shop floor machines. Operators remotely request uploads and downloads using standard FTP. FTP for Shop Floor use ADR_FTP Server is used by LanTap FTP Clients and CNC with FTP Client built-in.
| Windows 95, Windows NT |
| Automatic configuration |
| Supports extended features for LanTap |
| Allows Multiple FTP Servers on a server computer |
| Supports long file names |
| Unlimited number of directories per client |
Powerful
Unlimited number of client directories. Plus, if folder named "public" is created, all other users (including anonymous users) can view and download files in this public folder.
More Control
Each client has a root directory, on a disk drive, where the user can not go above. Each client also has a default directory where he saves files. By default clients can only transfer files to and from only their own folders. Security features per user account gives you the ability to set additional rights and privileges.
Greater Productivity
ADR_FTP increases your productivity because
you spend less time managing files. ADR_FTP Server processes files the way your DNC system needs them. And, we have eliminated all of the steps needed to get started, saving you time, and removing confusion.
Simple Installation
Default folder creation - simplifies starting up.
New FTP clients are allowed to work in a default mode. So you can run without any configuration. Add additional security and features as you need
them.
Compatibility
Adherence to standard FTP protocol insures compatibility with all FTP clients.
AdvancedDNC for Windows Software
ADR's Windows DNC package allows seamless integration with all of your other Windows software. Operators can remotely request files or direct transfers from the PC. Drag
and Drop files straight to your CNC. Edit large files. Start transfers from anywhere in the file. Compare edited files to find out
where the differences are and more.
| Request Files Remotely |
| Drag and Drop DNC |
| Tool Bar |
| Terminal Window |
