Jerry
at CJ's Machine in Anderson SC bought a CENTROID CNC equipped knee
mill a few years ago. He liked the ease of programming and the fact
that his guys could get work thru the Centroid equipped machine
faster and easier. Over the next two years he purchased a few more
CENTROID equipped machines; a bed mill and a tool room lathe. |

It
didn't take long for Jerry to notice that his inexpensive CENTROID
equipped CNC knee mill had features that he sure would like to have
on his Leadwell machining center. So, he decided to have the machine
retrofitted with a new Centroid. The original Mitsubishi control
was in running condition when remove from this machine! The Mitsubishi
was just taking too long to program and too long to set up. For
this machine, Jerry wanted the quick programming and fast setup
of the CENTROID CNC. |

With
the new M-400 you get the choice of a sealed full size keyboard
OR a regular PC keyboard for data input. Jerry like the feel of
a a PC keyboard and the fact that he can use one with his new control.
With the new
CENTROID control Jerry's guys can get more work thru the machine,
setup and programming are faster and easier. The machine is now
more accurate and has many more features which make operating and
programming fast and straight forward. |

Here
is a photo of an older modle M-400 equipped Pratt & Whitney
TriMac Bed mill. This machine is used day in and day out to machine
large dies for BBQ grills, Transmission housings and other cast
aluminum parts. CENTROID CNC controls have the highest still in
use ratio of any other control system. That's because we stand behind
our controls with affordable spare parts and service for many years
to come.
The cost to
retrofit a machine with these kind of capacities is far less than
buying new. Often the older machines are actually more rigid and
produce better machining results! Other older
large bed mills that we have done include: Brown and Sharpe 1000VC
and 1500VC, and Monarch. |

This
Bridgeport Interact 412x was originally equipped with a Hiedenhain
control that no one could operate, it was way too complicated! We
installed a new M-400 which everyone is familiar with since this
customer also has two CENTROID equipped
Bridgeport
knee mills. Now its an easy trasition from the knee mills to
the ATC machine. It only took
about 4 days to perform the CENTROID M-400 installation on the 412.
This ATC machine is equipped with rigid peck tapping and a 12 pocket
automatic tool changer. |

| There's
not enough room here to show you all the great machining centers that
we can upgrade. So, here is a list of a few more manufactures that
make excellent machines for a Centroid retrofit: Matsura, Mori Seiki,
and Sharnoa, Milltronics and almost any Anilam, Dynapath or Fanuc
equipped HMC. |
