General Information per Manufacturer:
          
          Key Features:
          
             Installs in-line with existing cabling
             Allows Remote RequestT from older CNC's
             Allows Remote RequestT from non-ISO Mazak CNC's
             Reduces standard Remote RequestT methods
             Allows for easy data collection with Predator MDC(TM)
             Wand, Laser, Slot Badge and Magstripe Scanners
          
          UniqueLink Bar Code Readers (BCR's) are designed to work both with older NC
          
          and CNC controls with limited displays and keyboards, or to further reduce the
          
          time taken to control Predator DNC(TM).
          
          Instead of editing and punching out a Remote Request(TM) program operators can
          
          simply swipe a bar code and set the machine to read. This can be applied for
          
          all the functionality found inside Predator DNC(TM) such as uploading,
          
          downloading and printing of CNC data.
          
          Typical Remote Request(TM) methods require editing a program or command line
          
          in order to control the DNC software. This can be very time-consuming if you
          
          are using long filenames, especially if errors are made and the Remote
          
          Request(TM) must be re-written. If program filenames can be added onto your
          
          shop floor documentation then the process is made not only easier but safer as
          
          well. The use of bar codes can greatly reduce the chance of calling the wrong
          
          program.
          
          If your job sheets, travelers, or CNC set-up sheets already contain some
          
          unique bar code information, then it may also be possible to configure a
          
          Predator DNC(TM) and BCR solution just for you.
          
          UniqueLink BCR's can also be used for data collection purposes, in order to
          
          track machine tool events or to record data that cannot be collected
          
          automatically. This is a much prefered method of manual data collection
          
          because it eliminates the need for PC hardware on the shop floor and paper-
          
          based data collection systems.
          
          Approx Replacement Cost $695.
