Soft Servo Systems offers the following CNC products based on ServoWorks soft motion technology:

• ServoWorks MC-Quad for 4-axis general CNC without a spindle control
• ServoWorks S-100M, S-120M and S-140M (the ServoWorks S-100M Series) for mills and machining centers
• ServoWorks S-100T for lathes

LadderWorks PLC, for integrating soft PLC with CNC, is bundled with all our ServoWorks CNC products. ServoWorks MotionLite, a free utility for servo configuration, tuning and testing, is included with ServoWorks MC-Quad and the ServoWorks S-100M Series. (ServoWorks S-100T has its own servo configuration, tuning and testing functions.)

ServoWorks CNC products offer many features, including macros, 3D-DLACC (three-dimensional dynamic look-ahead contour control), synchronized control and more.

Soft Servo Systems also offers extensive software development tools for developing customized ServoWorks CNC solutions.

All of Soft Servo Systems' CNC products are based on ServoWorks, our unique and proprietary PC-based motion control software technology. ServoWorks uses a single host CPU to perform all real-time servo and CNC/motion control tasks, including feedback loops, G code processing and PLC, as well as providing the graphical user interface, and network communications.

ServoWorks CNC controllers run on top of the core ServoWorks software on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows XPe, with a real-time kernel.

Many servo communications platforms, based on different communications technologies, are available for off-the-shelf ServoWorks CNC products: EtherCAT, VersioBus™ II, Panasonic Realtime Express™, MECHATROLINK™,Mitsubishi SSCNET™, and CANopen.

MotionLite's comprehensive setup, configuration, tuning and testing features include:

• ServoWorks system setup and configuration functions, such as driver installation, FPGA initialization, setting of servo control and servo drive parameters, etc.
• Test operation modes for ServoWorks system tuning such as velocity frequency/step response and position frequency/step response in either sinusoidal or square wave
• Interactive manual PID tuning
• Enhanced data sample and plot utilities (including continuous plot), for a lively visualization of system performance
• Real-time monitoring of position and I/O signals
• Data sampling and data plotting of actual position, program position, position error, and velocity
• Windows for viewing and setting motor parameters and servo loop parameters
