USB
port 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 drive support is a standard feature.
Ethernet LAN connection, RS-232, and MPG connector are also
standard features of the M400 CNC control.

The
Centroid CNC control can operate a wide variety and types of tool
changers. Umbrella type to Swing arm -- the Centroid provides fast
repeatable tool changes. Automatic batch measurement is also available
when used with our TT-1 Auto Tool Setter. Just highlight the tools
you would like to measure and the batch feature will automatically
retrieve, measure, and replace each tool automatically.

Rigid
tapping, Deep hole tapping and Threadmilling |
|
|
With
a Centroid you can make all kinds of threads.You can use Tapping,
Rigid Tapping and Threadmilling, depending on your part, for the best
result! Centroid's advanced rigid tapping is simple to program and
will both tap a hole in the regular way AND will also can use the
deep hole cycle to make a thread. Deep hole tapping taps a hole much
in the same way as you would by hand. It allows you to tap a much
larger hole than the HP of your machine would normally allow!

Digitizing.
Turn your milling machine into a copy machine. |
|
|
Copy
and Cut 2D and 3D shapes. Centroid's affordable, effective Digitizing
is the simplest CNC Digitizing on the market. Just record and play
back. Do you have a 2D contour such as a CAM or a 3D part like a mold
or plug? But no print? Let our Digitizing feature copy the part for
you. Digitizing turns your milling machine into a copy machine. Centroid
has overcome the cumbersome problems associated with Digitizing on
other controls. With a Centroid, it's actually one of the simplest
features on the control to use. With our Digitizing feature you will
be able to copy and reproduce an existing shape with little or no
programming! No CAD/CAM necessary, however you can export the Digitizing
information to a CAD/CAM system for further modification. It's very
popular for repairing cylinder head combustion chamber damage, copying
cams, creating molds and plugs from existing objects and many other
uses. Click here for more on Digitizing...

Auto
tool set |
|

Setup
your tools in a quarter of the time it would normally take! If
you often machine short run parts and are always setting up and
tearing down for a new job, the TT-1 Auto tool set will save you
tons of time, while more accurately setting your tool height offsets.
With the TT-1 you can create more parts per hour since the tool
set up is so much faster. You'll even save time when you have
to replace a dull tool with a new one in the middle of a job.
The TT-1 is completely automatic. Press "measure" and
the tool will automatically touch off the TT-1 and set the tool
height offset in the tool library. See the TT-1 in action on our
Video. The TT-1 plugs into the control.

With
any CENTRIOID CNC control you can use a regular PC keyboard or our
fully sealed unit. We found that about half our customers prefer a
regular open-style PC keyboard and the other half prefer a sealed
unit. The CENTROID sealed PC keyboard is liquid-proof and provides
reliable and durable keyboard operation in a shop environment.Our
keyboard is: fully sealed, coolant proof, long lasting in shop environment,
has tactile feedback, and raised buttons with distinct action. Click

Not
just a box of parts! Centroid's CNC controls are the fastest and easiest
to integrate onto a new machine. The controls arrive ready to install
with the control panels pre-configured for your particular machine,
saving hours -- if not days -- of installation time. PLC ladder logic
is also preprogrammed for your particular machine. The M-400 is available
with our affordable DC brush axis motors OR our new super powerful
AC Brushless axis motors.

Good
iron? Obsolete control? Time for a Centroid Retrofit! Turn your Milling
machine into a money maker with a modern Centroid CNC control. Our
complete turnkey retrofit systems are prepared for your specific machine,
making retrofit installation times much faster. Machining performance
is better than new, programming is now faster and simpler, and maintenance
costs are virtually eliminated. How much money per year are you spending
to keep your old control alive? Don't throw away your money when you
could have a new reliable Centroid CNC installed (with
training) for less than the cost to keep on an old CNC alive.
The Centroid retrofit upgrade is also much less than the cost of buying
new.
