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.

Large color LCD display for easy setup and programming

No other control has such a large easy-to-read display. With a special no-glare coating, the CENTROID LCD display is sealed from liquids and greasy fingers. With the high res 15" display, Programming, Editing, and viewing tool paths is now a joy.

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!
