SCMC is the next generation CNC Operator Interface designed to automate and coordinates the execution of manufacturing processes run on your CNC equipment.  Connect our PC based SCMC controller to any CNC Machine, and give your operators one common, easy to use CNC Operator Interface.  SCMC eliminate operator data handling by locking out your CNC Control's Offset Tables, CNc Programs, Parameters, and let SCMC automate, validate and record all data handling through its scripted interface.

SCMC provides an offline Script Builder used to define & dry-run the execution sequence of your manufacturing processes.  Let your engineering team script the loading of CNC Programs, Work/Tool Offsets, Macro Variables and Parameters into your CNC Control.  Lock-step the opeator to a pre-defined sequence of tasks by scripting prompts, acknowledgements and input validations.  Inhibit Cycle Start at any time throughout the process.  Collect and analyze probe results for compliance.  Coordinate peripheral equipment and manufacturing systems like CMMs, Robots, Palletizing Systems, ERP and Supply Chain Management Systems, and much more.

A suite of SCMC Script objects are available, allowing you to sequence and control CNC Machine functions, CNC Data Handling, Peripheral Equipment, Operator Prompts/Inputs, File Management, and Manufacturing Management Systems.  Below is listed some of the script elements available.
