Hi. I found the firmware for download but not the software. I am interested in purchasing a 5500 lathe that has no computer with it and I saw your post about having firmware loading problems that you figured out. So I would need both software and updated firmware to make it operational? I know you have put a lot of time into this and was wondering if you could assist or lead me in the right direction? I don't know anything about replacing controllers and drivers but could probably figure it out in a few years. I would like to purchase it if I can make it work as it was manufactured. Thank you for your time.
I have the labvolt software for mill not sure i have software for lathe... you need to find out what fitmware version the machine has first. All you need is the labvolt software...an old pc with serial port...and a null modem style serial cable.

You do not have to have updated firmware to make operational...the updated firmware corresponds

Thank you for the quick response. I saw a photo of the software CD and it stated Lathe/Mill but the part #5660 states it I'd for the Mill only. #5560 for the Lathe. I didn't know if they had combined the two on the disc. So..I think I will take a chance with the purchase and go from there. I have lots of old computers to work from. Thank you again and have a great day.

I'm new to cnc. Are you talking about the post processor software? Or the cam software? Can't you use any cam software so long as you have a post processor for your machine? I think that I am missing something.
Re: In search of software for lab volt festo diactic cnc mill or lathe
thank you very much for the recommendations, it's very helpful for me! I am currently concerned about creating my own effective team of guys who will help my firm create a quality product for customers. I understand the fact that a good software company will always strive for a balanced mix of specialists and generalists in the team they form to complete a project. But how can this be achieved in practice? In this I need your help and advice.
