Powerful control with user-friendly operation.
Cut parts the first day with CENTROID's straight-forward operation. Machine parts not possible with other controls. Get more work through a machine with faster setups. Produce parts with a better surface finish. Spend less time programming and more time making chips. Bring in more work and bid on higher paying jobs.

Useful Tools for quicker job turn around.
Stop and restart the job at any point. Stop, make any adjustments, and restart right where you left off. Toolpath Graphics show you the cutter path before & while running the job. On-the-fly override control of feeds and speeds. Useful Help Screens guide you through Setup and Programming. Large Color LCD display is easy to read. Run large part programs with no limitations. High Speed processing provides smooth machining, no gouging. Fast, smooth continuous tool motion, no hesitation or dwell.

Dedicated control panel for Milling functions.
Clearly labeled controls for each axis and direction. Dedicated buttons for spindle and coolant controls. Spindle speed override and Feedrate override. Tool Check, Feed Hold, Cycle Start, Rapid override, Incremental and Continuous Jog, Single Block. Customize with Tool index +/-, Clamp/Unclamp, Vac on/off, & more. Extra auxiliary buttons are programmable for special applications. Fully sealed, coolant proof, long-lasting in shop environment. Tactile feedback, raised buttons with distinct action. Indicator lights show the selection made.

Conversational Programming is fast and easy.
Program parts right at the control or offline with your desktop PC Convert geometry from DXF files to Centroid's Intercon operations. Supports contouring, pocketing, framing, drilling, boring, tapping, & threading. Centroid's Intercon generates the G codes for you. Help screens for all the common milling cycles, just fill in the dimensions. Even lines and arcs are canned cycles. A graph of the part shows your work as you go. Graph at any point. Automatic pocket cleanout, Intercon auto creates the roughing and finish passes automatically. Fill in the blank: Threadmilling, Drilling, (3 types of cycles), Tapping (Rigid, Rigid peck tapping, Floating), Pocketing, Facing, Auto connect radius, Lines, Arcs, Math Help, Teach in and much more!

Dedicated CNC control panel is straight forward. Individual dedicated buttons for all common machine functions. One-button operation to Jog an axis. One-button tool check Sealed from shop coolant and oils. Long-lasting, durable overlay. Tactile feedback (button depresses with distinct feel). Easy to read, well-labeled, intuitive layout

Color Tool Path Graphics show 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!
