Centroid "Hickory" CNC Controller
This is a legacy page, to view up-to-date information and pricing please visit the Hickory Page on ShopCentroidCNC.com
Centroid "Hickory" EtherCat based closed loop CNC Controller.
A reliable, high performance, industrial quality CNC control. Hickory utilizes an integrated Motion Control CPU and communicates with both the CNCPC and the Servo Drives via a fast and reliable EtherCat connection. The Hickory is an 8 axis CNC control board. Perfect for many types of machine tools such as: CNC milling machines of all types, Turning Centers, and a wide variety of CNC Routers and other specialty applications. Typically used on CNC machine tools where a high performance CNC control is needed. Hickory utilizes only approved AC brushless servos with EtherCat communication protocol, compatible drives with Hickory are: Yaskawa Sigma 7, Glentek Gamma series, Estun Summa, Leadshine EL7 and EL8, Inovance SV660N. More makes and models will be added to the compatibility list as we test them. Currently there is no guarantee from Centroid when using Hickory with any other drive other than the Centroid curated drives listed. We are working on Delta at the moment and welcome the opportunity to test others as well.
Hickory significantly reduces electrical cabinet cabling and labor. Hickory is absolute encoder compatible which further reduces cabling, labor and cost to install the CNC control, as well as added convenience to the operators day to day operation in time savings, reduced mistakes and scrap parts due to the elimination of machine homing and resetting of work coordinate systems, the machine always knows where it is at even when the power is off.

ATC capability plug in for Oak
This plug in is required for Oak system that will be running a Tool Changer. A Mill or Lathe Pro License is required for full ATC functionality.
CNC12 Ultimate Plus for Allin1DC, Oak, MPU11, Hickory
Includes all the features of Ultimate, PLUS 6 axis simultaneous interpolated motion CNC software.
Allin1DC can command up to 6 axis drivers, Hickory and Oak can command up to 8 axis drivers, with or without this option. This option allows: Simultaneous Coordinated Interpolated motion of individual axes involving 5 or more axes which is a regulated technology by the US government. (If you are outside the US we will provide and ask you to sign two documents, a letter of assurance and a letter of certification for our records).
Most users do not require this feature. Don't confuse True interpolated 5+ axis motion with simply having 5 or more drive ports on the CNC control board that all can command and move 5 or more axes. Allin1DC, Hickory, and Oak without this 6 axis simultaneous software is considered a 4+2 system. Which is: Fully interpolated motion for ANY four axis in ANY combination at ANY given time. For instance XYZW, XWAB, ABCW, ZWAB, XYAB, ZYAB, etc..

Hickory Board Overview
These Leadshine EL7 EtherCAT drive/motor/cable packages have been curated by Centroid with extensive testing on various Hickory equipped CNC machine tools at our facility here in Central Pennsylvania USA.
These packages consist of compatible AC Servo Motors, EtherCat Servo Drives and the corresponding Cables you need for your next CNC machine tool project, simply pick the motor size, type and cable length.
- Hickory and these packages provide Absolute Encoder functionality! That means the machine always knows where it is at even when powered off.
- Daily CNC machine homing is eliminated with absolute encoders!
- Any paired axes will always square to each other when powered up.
- Limit and Home switches are optional and unnecessary.
- Daisy Chain connection from Hickory to the EL7 drive and all subsequent drives simplfies cabling installation and reduces both cable and labor costs.
- Utilizes off the shelf sheilded ethernet cables
USA shipments drop ship direct from the Leadshine USA warehouse in California
International Shipments drop ship direct from Leadshine HQ in China
When choosing the motor type note the motor physical size, power rating, useful RPM when sizing to your application.
750 watt (80 mm frame, 3000 rpm, 2.39 N-m cont., 5000 max rpm)
Where the "80 mm frame" refers to the square face frame size of the 750 watt motor. Reference the complete ELM2 servo motor dimensional specifications here.
and the "3000 rpm" refers to the useful, normal RPM range of the 750 watt motor (0-3000)
and "2.39 N-m" is the useful, normal continuous torque output of the 750 watt motor in Newton Meters
and the "5000 max rpm" is the maximum RPM of the 750 watt servo motor, this max rpm can be reached for short periods by the motor as long as the motor load is not excessive. Note: Torque will fall off from the continuous torque rating above the useful RPM, in this example 3000 rpm.
Gear and Size the machine tool kinematics for the desired results (machine max rates, accuracy and power) if in doubt its always best to use the next size larger servo motor/drive package.

Centroid "USB-BOB" Operator Control Panel Interface Kit
Add to Cart
USB-BOB has been through a 4 month alpha tester program with excellent results.
USB-BOB is compatible with CNC12 v5.19 BETA software (the official release version will be CNC12 v5.2)
Typical Beta to Official release software time table is approximately 6-8 weeks.
More info on the beta software release here.
The Centroid USB Operator Control Panel Interface Board (aka “USB-BOB”) is a CNC machine tool operator control panel interface board that connects to the CNCPC via a USB port. The Operator Control Panel Interface Board is intended to be an affordable, reliable, alternative to traditional methods of building CNC control operator control consoles/panels. The USB-BOB provides inputs for the most commonly used operator controls in a package that installs quickly with minimal fuss saving on wiring/installation labor and CNC controller inputs. It features inputs for three standard rotary encoders with integrated push-button, three MPG hand-wheel encoders, 12 optically isolated switch inputs, and 12 open collector LED outputs. The USB-BOB can be used in conjunction with Centroid’s popular Virtual Control Panel or without.
The USB-BOB is plug and play with preprogrammed button and knob functionality: Many common functions like Cycle Cancel, Tool Check, Feed Hold and Cycle Start along with Rapid Override, Spindle Speed Override and Feedrate Override are preprogrammed and user select-able with easy drag and drop installation.
In addition to these pre-programmed controls, all controls are user configurable through Centroid’s CNC PLC language so user can customize both the button or knob functionality to suit their application and tastes.
Common uses:
• Physical buttons and knobs for core/common operator functions simplifying the design for a hard operator console
• Supplement Centroid Virtual Control Panel with physical controls without using up any CNC control board inputs
• Add separate Rapid Override to Centroid Legacy control systems that did not have this feature.

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.

Use the Manual Pulse Generator to jog the machine tool, very useful for part and tool setups. Order with or without internal bulk head cable. If you have a factory built M400/T400 CNC control or if you ordered the CNC console conduit cable kit you do not need to buy the internal bulkhead cable. If you are building a DIY CNC control based on the Oak cnc controller you will need the internal bulkhead cable to connect this MPG to the Oak board.

Looking fro an MPG for an older CNC10 system? please email us your system serial number
CNC10 Kits numbers had 5 digits. (Note: if you have a 6 digit Kit number that is a CNC11/CNC12 system)
