It is also cost prohibitive to have them install their specific hardware to upgrade your machine.
Eliminate proprietary upgrades: Having a tech from the machine tool builder come down to evaluate your machines is expensive. Meanwhile, getting a USB stick is as easy as making a run down to a pharmacy, a big box technology store, ordering from Amazon, or buying one from Target and Walmart! Remember, a 2GB stick is the largest size for the Floppy Connect, and it must be FAT formatted. Finding them new is hard to do and will cost you. No longer hunting for obsolete storage media: Floppy disks have been extinct technology for several years now. Refreshing, not replacing, legacy machines: Just because your machine still has a floppy drive does not mean it’s time to put it out to pasture, in terms of productivity! Using one of our floppy drive emulators will upgrade your machine and prevent you from spending thousands of dollars on a new CNC machine.
There are three main benefits to this CNC upgrade: The answer is no, but don’t let this deter you! The benefit of floppy drive replacement hardware is not adding memory to your machine, but we will also touch on the subject of file sizes later.
While we invite you to contact us for more detailed information, we want to answer the most asked question: Does your Floppy Connect hardware add memory to my machine? We get many calls to our office asking questions about CNC floppy emulator hardware.
