New AniCNC application software for Class-5 SmartMotor from Moog Animatics

October 25, 2017 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Moog Animatics of Moog Inc. now sells AniCNC application software exclusively for use with the Class 5 SmartMotor. When coupled with the Class 5 SmartMotor, the AniCNC software setup provides a graphical Human-Machine Interface (HMI), G-code editing and runtime environment and other built-in features to tackle milling, routing, machining, shaping and related projects.

An offline mode allows preview and refinement of G-code tool paths without being attached to the SmartMotor.

Additional features include:

  • A simple, intuitive user interface, optimized for touchscreen use
  • Advanced Code Writer and Shape Writer for creating complex patterns
  • DXF file import to produce scalable G-code for quick resizing and/or arraying
  • G-code export to DXF format for efficient use in CAD or illustration software
  • G-code editing and runtime environment with real-time viewing of the tool path
  • TrueType font to G-code converter allows text scaling/framing
  • Built-in functions for point-and-click programming of common metalwork shapes
  • Nested-array code building for easy duplication of parts in sheet material
  • Dynamic jog and teach to rapidly record points to the G-code program
  • In-path jog correction allows temporary move adjustment and then resets and continues

The SmartMotor is a highly programmable servo motor system that is integrated with a motor, an encoder, an amplifier, a controller, RS-232/RS-485 and other optional communications and IOs. The motor provides a smaller footprint, a lower total cost and a simplicity to reduce machine development and build time.

Moog Animatics is a global leader in integrated motion control and designs, manufactures and markets motion control products and systems. With over 30 years of experience in the motion control industry, the company has U.S. operations and Intl. offices in Germany and Japan and a network of Automation setup Providers worldwide.
