We have a CNC process in our sheet metal dept. We have three Sharp LVM-50/MP milling machines with accurute millPWR.

Some stupid questions:

Can programs be saved on these consoles?

Does everyone save programs?

Is there a reason not to save programs?

Can these be connected via DNC to a dedicated programming PC?

What software is recommended?

Is there any freeware available?

Thanks!
