Haas Quick Code/Esprit PC-Based Programming Debuts

DP Technology Corp (Camarillo, CA) and Haas Automation, Inc. (Oxnard, CA) announce the availability of a PC-based Windows (trademark of Microsoft) version of Haas' Quick Code programming.

The program includes calculators for angles, drill depth, and simple math; an automatic speeds and feeds database and calculator; a tap drill and decimal equivalent chart; DNC to Haas machines from a PC; complete G-code text editor; and On-line help.
