Available with built-in CNCPC or without CNCPC.
Available in "panel mount" configuration for mounting in existing console enclosure. (Panel Mount = made to bolt into an existing machine tool console space. Typically used on large machines with a preexisting CNC control so existing console hardware can be re purposed with new Centroid CNC operators console. )

Optional pre assembled "Console to Electrical cabinet cable in conduit" Standard size: 16' cables with 6' conduit.   $430 (part# 11028) add $28.50 for each foot additional conduit length. Call or Email us for custom lengths not shown.

Centroid CNC software allows operator machine control through a number of different methods.
This Operator's Control Pendant is for when hard buttons are preferred over touch screen controls. Useful on large and small machine tools alike when setting up parts, fixtures and tools, the pendant allows the operator to take the controls to where the work is. Steel case with magnets on the back and rubber handles, this control pendant uses the same operator control panel found in the M400/T400 CNC console.
The control panel can be removed from the pendant and flush mounted in your own console enclosure as well.

A lower cost ($0) alternative to this piece of hardware is the software based Touch Screen Virtual Machine Control Panel (VCP). The VCP allows the functionality of this Hardware based Operators Control Pendant when using a Touch Screen LCD as the CNC control display. The touch screen VCP is included with Centroid CNC control software CNC12 v4.12+ and can be used without or in conjunction with this hardware based Operator's Control Pendant.

For use with Centroid motor cables, this direct wire cable strain relief makes a water/oil tight seal against both the motor power and encoder cables to any flat surface. Very useful when converting both old and new servo motors to a direct wire configuration as seen on this page.

Centroid part# 5031 (aluminum cap, gasket, 6-32 screws) $19 ea.

For new machine tools, retrofit upgrades or as replacement motors. Yaskawa's are high quality, long lasting, powerful servo motor and drive packages.

Communications cable that connects a servo drive to the Oak CNC controller. One end plugs into the servo drive the other end plugs into the Oak CNC control board. Sold in 4 variations. Made in USA.

1.) Yaskawa. Works with Yaskawa Sigma 1,2,5,7 Servo drives
2.) Delta ASD-A or ASD-AB
3.) Flying lead. Servo drive end of cable is left "flying lead" so user can mount any kind of connector necessary to connect to a drive other than Yaskawa, Delta or Estun.
4.) SureServo2

*Yaskawa cable shown, two wire plug is load feedback plug specific to Yaskawa

Commonly used to upgrade old existing DC servo motors to be compatible with the Centroid Allin1DC. see this web page with photo pictorial showing a typical servo motor encoder upgrade. Replaces Tachometers, Resolvers and Low resolution Encoders. Upgrade existing DC servos to the latest technology for silky smooth closed loop CNC operation. Centroid stocks these high resolution, 5vdc, quadrature differential encoders in several commonly found shaft sizes. Encoder to Encoder cable pigtail included which allows plug and play compatibility with Centroid Encoder Cables using the 9 pin C-grid connector, No crimping or soldering needed. Please measure the servo motor encoder shaft diameter before ordering. More technical how to information on Encoders here..

Note: 10,000 line (40,000 count per revolution) encoders are commonly used on tall pitch machine tools like CNC routers and Linear rail machines to maintain a good encoder counts per inch of linear travel on the machine tool for smooth operation.

Encoder with pigtail connector. Commonly used on New and to upgrade old existing AC servo motors. Replaces Tachometers, Resolvers and Low resolution Encoders. Also used to upgrade existing DC servos to the latest technology for silky smooth closed loop CNC operation. Centroid stocks these high resolution, 5vdc, quadrature differential servo motor encoders in 8mm shaft size. Encoder to Encoder cable pigtail included which allows wiring to a mill connector or to a 9 pin C-grid connector for DC applications for compatibility with Centroid Encoder Cables, 8000 RPM maximum. Please measure the servo motor encoder shaft diameter before ordering. More technical how to information on Encoders here..

Note: 10,000 line (40,000 count per revolution) encoders are commonly used on tall pitch machine tools like CNC routers and Linear rail machining center machines to maintain a good encoder counts per inch of linear travel on the machine tool for accurate smooth operation.

Power Conversion Examples:

- 110 VAC input yields 155 VDC out

- 83 VAC input yields 117 VDC out

Designed to bolt to at least a 12,000 MFD 250 Volt Capacitor (larger is ok), this printed circuit board rectifying bridge includes the diode bridge, in-rush limiter, bleed down resistor and terminals for AC power in and DC power out. The distance between centers of the capacitor terminal is 1.125in. 600 V, 35 A
AC in one side DC power out the other couldn't be more simple. Made in USA

Used to rectify AC to DC for Servo Motor Power use.

Power Conversion Examples:

- 110 VAC input yields 155 VDC out

- 83 VAC input yields 117 VDC out

- AC volts IN x 1.41 = DC volts out
- Requires a 12,000+ mfd or higher rated capacitor
- Bolts to standard size capacity with 1.125" terminal spacing
- Can also be wired to a capacitor, rather than bolt on
- Use with your own Capacitor
- 600 volts max, with 35 amps rating.

Designed for noise suppression of all contactor, solenoid and relay coils to prevent interruption of CNC control communications. One Quench arc should be installed across each coil used in any CNC system.

Contactor in photo not included, Image shows typical Installation of Quencharc across a contactor coil.

Quencharcs are commonly used on all sorts of accessory coils, such as Flood Pump, Mister Solenoid, Vacuum Solenoids, Dust Collection motor starters, Estop Contactors and any other device controlled by a Contactor, Relay or Solenoid.
