Centroid CNC control sales, service, training and support
These controls are designed for do-it-yourself retrofits, ideally on machines already equipped with older DC-servo control systems such as Boss 9, Boss 10, Prototrak, Anilam, Dynapath, etc..
The heart of the system is Centroid's All-in-One DC control unit, which combines the MPU11 motion controller with a three-axis DC servo amplifier and PLC input and output features.
Three new 2000-line (8000-count) rotary position encoders are included, which you would mount to your existing servo motors.
Centroid control software for Windows is included.
You would need to provide a suitable computer with Microsoft Windows 7, and a keyboard and monitor.
The most basic kit includes the All-in-One DC control unit, handheld control pendant, and Centroid control software for Windows 7.
| All-in-one DC control unit | $2,122 |
| Handheld control pendant | $770 |
| Software and documentation CD | n/c |
| Total for basic kit | $2,892 |
This is sufficient for a retrofit if you can re-use your existing servo motors and encoders; your existing DC servo power supply (from 20 to 130 VDC); and your existing contactors.
Additional components can be included as needed:
| New 8000-count encoders (each) | $210 |
| Servo power supply: 120VAC to 120VDC and 24VAC | $495 |
| Servo power supply: 208-240VAC or 416-480VAC to 120VDC, 120VAC and 24VAC | $705 |
| 29 in-lb DC servo motor with encoder & cable | $1,160 |
| 17 in-lb DC servo motor with encoder & cable | $815 |
| Manual pulse generator (electronic handwheel pendant) | $485 |
