AEROTECH Automation1 iSMC Intelligent, Software-Based Motion Controller

Automation1 iSMC Intelligent, Software-Based Motion Controller

Our Automation1 Software-Based Machine Controller (iSMC) tightly integrates precision motion with process control. Whether you’re programming a simple move, building a complete machine or doing something in between, the Automation1 iSMC delivers high-quality automation and improved throughput.

Because the iSMC integrates with our user-friendly Automation1 Motion Development Kit, you’ll quickly configure and develop your application, easily set up control devices and enjoy programming with features like intelligent autocomplete, context sensitive help, EasyTune®, live build checking, a variable and I/O watch window, and more.

Capable of running a PC-based or drive-based hardware platform, the iSMC allows you flexibility in deploying a wide variety of motion control solutions.

Multi-Axis Precision Motion

Command up to 32 axes of servo/stepper and laser scan head motion over the HyperWire® fiber-optic communication bus to Automation1 drive hardware.

Coordinated Motion

Calibration and Corrections

Gantry Control at Lightspeed

Motion Made Easy

iSMC

Choose from seven homing functions for each axis: speed, distance and distance hold jogging controls; axis in position verification and axis stability verification; incremental motion; geared motion; camming motion and freerun motion commands.
