hello,
I have a question about paper tape punch / reader devices.
I see sometime around devices developed for CNC machines, e.g. the Facit
N4000.
I know these devices are configurable, and mostly have serial interface, so
maybe they could be attached to an "old iron", or to a pc for dumping
purposes.
I'm not sure however about the physical format of the paper tape, the
position of the holes, etc
Are these machines compatible?
Thanks
Andrea
I have a couple of GNT reader/punches and they are standard 1" , 8-hole
tape (actually they will do 5-hole as well).
They have photo electric readers. I have used them to read tapes for
other folks.
I remember punching CNC tape on Newcastle Polytechnics IBM1130 some 40
years ago and it was a standard IBM punch....
... so I think they are all standard layout....
