Free USB 2.0 and Ethernet LAN ports! USB ports for use with any USB Storage device.
Quickly and easily load G code programs and DXF 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 2.0 and 1.0 drive support is a standard feature.

Color Tool Path Graphics shows tool path
of cutter comp moves

  • Make fewer programming errors with our excellent tool path graphics.
  • Instantly see the tool path at any point while you are programming. Great for checking your work as you go.
  • Run-time graphics show you the cutter position while the job is being machined. Great for large machines and for when the cutter is buried in flood coolant.
  • Graph and edit G code programs from any source right at the control.
  • Graph Digitized part programs
  • All 2D views and 3D, zoom in/out, slow down or speed up, pause graph, graph any the whole part or just a section, different color of lines for different types of moves.
  • Very accurate run-time estimation
  • True backplot graphics, WYSIWYG. What you see is what you get -- not just a guess like other graphics!
 
   
Free High Speed Processing provides smooth continuous tool motion for superior contouring.

FREE! High Speed Processing for 3D machining and G code Smoothing!

  • 2000 line lookahead accel/decel.
  • High Block throughput.
  • Continuous tool motion with no hesitation or dwell.
  • Reduces bench time grinding and polishing.
  • Take lighter cuts faster for better surface finish.
  • Run programs with very short moves at high feedrates.
  • Stop and restart at any point
  • G-code Smoothing for short vector G code generated by CAD/CAM systems
   
Intercon conversational programming creates the G codes for you.  Just fill in the dimensions from your print.

Intercon Conversational Programming for Mills and Lathes

  • Program parts right at the control or offline* with your desktop PC, fill in the blank programming.
  • Centroid's Intercon generates the G codes for you.
  • Help screens for all the common milling/turning cycles,
     just fill in the dimensions. Even lines and arcs are canned cycles.
  • A graph of the part shows your work as you go. Graph at any point.
  • Automatic pocket cleanout, Intercon auto creates the
      roughing and finish passes automatically.
  • Fill in the blank: Threadmilling, Drilling, (3 types of cycles), Tapping (Rigid, Rigid peck tapping, Floating), Pocketing, Facing, Auto connect radius, Lines, Arcs, Math Help, Teach in and much more!
  • Convert geometry from DXF files to Centroid's Intercon* operations. Supports contouring, pocketing, framing, drilling, boring, tapping, & threading.
