Heavy Duty CNC console with powdered coated Steel construction is only 2.88" thick and can be easily mounted to a machine tool in a variety of ways. Uses Standard PC keyboard which provide familiar Qwerty layout that are inexpensive widely available replacement options. Dual electronic hand wheels are avail bale as well as the single lathe handheld MPG with axis and increment selector your choice.

Easy file transfer w/ USB & LAN.

Quickly and easily load G code programs and CAD files into the control with a USB thumb drive. Downloading large G-code part programs generated from a CAD/CAM system is now fast and simple. The control automatically recognizes the USB thumb drive and a drive letter shows up on the load menu along with the built-in hard drive. You can even graph the G-code part programs directly from the USB thumb drive to identify the program you want before downloading into the control! USB drive support is a standard feature. Ethernet LAN connection, and MPG connector are also standard features of the M400 CNC control.

Run most any other windows compatible hardware:Webcams,
Microphones, Speakers, Keyboards, Mice, backup
Hard Drives, Wireless devices etc.

From Print to part in minutes with Centroid's "Intercon" conversational programming for Lathes

• Quickly create part programs right at the control
• Easy “fill-in-the-blank” canned cycles
• Graphical help menu and math assistance for missing dimensions
   and Teach mode
• Check your work instantly with tool path graphics
• No knowledge of G-codes necessary
• Smart Threading cycles w/ Thread Data Library
• Intercon automatically generates part G-code
• Seamless integration with cnc control software
• Offline version available for PC use

Automatic Profiling Cycle, Diameter or End Face

• Automatic profiling generates all the moves necessary to remove material from around the part profile.
• Enter only the finished part dimensions and material around the profile is automatically “roughed off”

Line and Arc Canned Cycles w/ auto Connect Radius and Teach Mode

• Program line moves with ease. Enter what you know: endpoint data, or taper angle and taper length
• Automatic connect radius for lines and arcs and automatic chamfer for lines
• Program Arcs with End Point & Radius, Center Point & Angle, Center Point & Endpoint or Three Points

Threading, Grooving, Turning, Cutoff, Chamfering, and Radius Cycles

• Canned threading cycles include: Inside, Outside, Compound, and Tapered (pipe) threading cycles
• Threading cycles can be used by simply selecting the thread from the built-in library or enter your own custom thread using type of thread and entering pitch, diameter, and length
• Designate threads Class with multi pass, spring pass, finish pass controls and multi lead threads
• Grooving: Straight, Chamfered, or Radiused Grooves on the inside, outside, front, or back of the part
• Turning: Diameter or End Face, ID or OD Turning, Straight or Angled, Rough and Finish passes

Canned Drill, Bore and Tapping Cycles

• Canned Drill and Bore cycles include:
  Peck Drill/Bore, Chip Breaking, Deep Hole Drill/Bore (chip removal), and Drill/Bore
• Use a tap to make threads with the canned Floating-tap or Rigid-tap cycle*
• Specify threads-per-inch, spindle speed, and depth and the control does the rest

Tapering Cycles

• Add any taper to your part, at any angle, by specifying a start and end point, or use the angle and length of the taper
• Intercon will automatically calculate any unknown values

C Axis Positioning

• Used for contour milling and spindle positioning for drilling and tapping.
• Produce special profiles such as square sides, pockets, cams, and even lettering
• Provides accurate positioning around the circumference, on the face, or inside the part

Dual Electronic Handwheels

Intuitive handwheels provide the operator with a fast and easy way to setup a job. Move an axis just like a manual lathe. Great for touching off part zero positions and setting up tool offsets these CENTROID handwheels have a natural feel and can be used in conjunction with the axis Jog buttons on the operators control panel. A center mounted Joy stick allows for easy fast jogging of both the X an Z axis in both directions. The CENTROID dual handwheels can be mounted anywhere on the lathe with the provided sealed mounting box or can be mounted flush into your existing cabinet.
