What is SMNC™?
SMNC™, Moog Animatics’ G-Code based servo motion control application software, uses G-CODE to deliver multi-axis contouring for your Moog Animatics SmartMotor™ CNC projects. SMNC™ provides a set of features that are comparable to any CNC system, including a user interface that is similar in appearance to a traditional CNC system. Click the “G and M Codes” tab to see the codes that are supported by the SMNC™ application software.
SMNC™ is compatible with Mastercam®. Mastercam is a registered trademark of CNC Software, Inc.
