Motion control solution

Soft Servo Systems has released the SMP series, a new type of general motion controller with as many as 16 axes of high-end general motion control, an industry-standard soft PLC, and a Windows®-based GUI application in a single package.

Series is suitable for motion control applications in the packaging, converting, and food processing industries that require 4, 8, or 16 axes. Instead of proprietary motion programming languages, SMP offers easier programming in standard languages like Java and Visual Basic. A single PC performs all servo control, including feedback loops and NC path generation, as well as providing the user interface, data processing, plant monitoring, network communications, file management, and CAD/CAM.
