Predator BTRs (Behind-The-Tape-Reader) eliminate the need for paper tape usage on NC and CNC machines by adding an RS-232 or RS-422 hardware port to your existing NC/CNC machines allowing sending, receiving, and drip feeding large NC/CNC programs now allowing older machines to be networked.
Predator BTR's RS-232 or RS-422 port allows plug and play compatibility with PCs, and Predator CNC Editor, Predator DNC, Predator Desktop, and Predator MDC systems
