Centroid CNC Accessories
2D and 3D Digitizing

Copy and Cut 2D and 3D shapes. Centroid's affordable, effective Digitizing is the simplest CNC Digitizing on the market. Just record and play back. Do you have a 2D contour such as a CAM or a 3D part like a mold or plug? But no print? Let our Digitizing feature copy the part for you. Digitizing turns your milling machine into a copy machine. Centroid has overcome the cumbersome problems associated with Digitizing on other controls. With our Digitizing feature you will be able to copy and reproduce an existing shape with little or no programming! No CAD/CAM necessary, but you can export the Digitzing information to a CAD/CAM system for further modification. It's very popular for repairing cylinder head combustion chamber damage, copying cams, creating molds and plugs from existing objects and many other uses.

DC single axis servo drive
The "DC single" makes it easy to add on a 4th axis to an existing three axis control such as the M-40, M-39S and M-400S. The DC single is designed specifically for adding an extra rotary or linear axis to a CENTROID CNC control equipped with a Servo3I/O. The DC single can also be used as a stand-alone single axis DC servo motor drive and has a max output rating of 15 amps, which runs up to a 40 in-lb continuous-rated DC servo motor. Click here for the DC single spec sheet (coming soon). As with all our drives, the DC single is digitial and is autotuning, there are no trim pots to adjust. Tuning servo motors now takes only a minute.

Part/Fixture Probing
Probing is used to quickly setup/find zero points on a vise, fixture or part. Accurately sets zero points, finds edges, center locations of bosses or bores, slots and webs. Eliminates the need for a centerfinder or an edgefinder. You'll never have to spend 30 minutes using a center finder to locate the center of a bore again. The probe will find and set the center of a bore in just seconds. In addition the probe can be used to verify part dimensions.

Coordinate System Rotation is often a powerful feature when combined with Probing. With CSR, you'll never have to indicate in your vise or fixture again, just bolt it to the table and the probe finds the edge automatically and rotates the machine coordinate system to match the position of your vise/fixture in seconds. If you are constantly breaking down and setting up new fixtures you need this option. It will quickly pay for itself many times over.
CNC Engraving $665
With our CNC engraving option you can engrave Letters, Numbers, Symbols and Logos. This conversational engraving software runs right on the control computer and makes it very easy for you to quickly create and place part numbers, logos, company names etc..on your parts. Its quicker than a CAD/CAM system to adjust the size and position of the engraving. Graphics show you what the engraving looks like before you cut the part. Also, Imports CAD drawings and fonts with the DXF in feature.
Rigid Tapping
With a Centroid you can make all kinds of threads.You can use Tapping, Rigid Tapping and Threadmilling - depending on your part - for the best result! Centroid's advanced rigid tapping is simple to program and will both tap a hole in the regular way AND will also can peck tap a thread. Peck tapping taps a hole much in the same way as you would by hand. It allows you to tap a much larger hole than the HP of your machine would normally allow!


Auto Tool Setter
Set up your tools in a quarter of the time it would normally take! If you often machine short-run parts and are always setting up and tearing down for a new job, the TT-1 Auto tool set will save you tons of time while more accurately setting your tool height offsets. With the TT-1 you can create more parts per hour since the tool setup is so much faster. You'll even save time when you have to replace a dull tool with a new one in the middle of a job. The TT-1 is completely automatic. Press "measure" and the tool will automatically touch off the TT-1 and set the tool height offset in the tool library. See the TT-1 in action on our Video CD. The TT-1 plugs into the control.
