Centroid "Oak" closed loop CNC Controller
This is a legacy page, to view up-to-date information and pricing please visit the Oak Page on ShopCentroidCNC.com
A reliable, high performance, industrial quality CNC control at a do-it-yourself price. The Oak utilizes an integrated Motion Control CPU and communicates with CNCPC via a fast and reliable Ethernet connection. The Oak is a 4 axis CNC control board that is expandable to 8 axis of simultaneous motion. 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. Typically used with AC brushless servo in full closed loop operation but also can control DC servos as well. Yaskawa, Delta and SureServo2 are the only DIY recommended servo drive packages for use with Oak. While many other drives have been used with Oak successfully they are NOT a DIY project and are done by seasoned CNC integrators. For DIY sales there is no guarantee from Centroid when using Oak with any other drive other than Delta ASDA-A2 -B2, Yaskawa Sigma 1,2,5,7 or SureServo2.

Quickly and accurately setup tool heights in the tool library with a push of a button. The CENTROID TT-4 automatic tool height offset touch probe is plug and play with all Centroid CNC controls. Eliminates gauge blocks, paper, and repeated measurements. Save time and increase accuracy. Fully integrated into the CNC control tool library menu, just select the tool and press auto measure to set the tool height automatically. Makes measuring all types of tools faster and more accurate. Find the longest insert in a multiple insert tool quickly. Once you start using the TT-4 you'll wonder why you waited to purchase this time saving tool. Measure just one tool or a whole group of tools at once. Can also be used in the middle of a job to measure a replacement tool. Integrated with an Automatic tool changer for batch tool measurement. The TT-4 is based on KP-3 touch probe technology and is a robust kinematic design and works with all spindles even ones that with non conductive bearings (ceramic) or tooling that doesn't conduct (diamond).. Acorn CNC software configuration is simple one button press with the pre configured preset for the TT-4 using the Acorn Setup Wizard. Note: Also compatible with most all other CNC controller such as but not limited to: Mach3/4, WinCNC, LinuxCNC, Pathpilot and others.

Same control panel that is on the M400/T400 CNC consoles but placed in a box with a 20' cord.
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.
Longer cords up to 50' are available call for quote or just use the Wireless MPG for long distance applications.
