Lowering Costs in Difficult Times


You might expect me to talk about using Centroid CNC controls to upgrade your existing machine at less than half the cost of what you will spend for a new replacement machine tool.  While this is very true, I have news that can save you even more.  Centroid CNC control products have always been assembled as a complete system. Each M400 and T400 control includes new servo motors, servo driver set, PLC, computer console with display and push button panel, contactors fuses and overloads. A complete running control ready to install 
on your CNC machine. There are many advantaged to this complete system philosophy especially in the areas of time, performance and reliability. Let's look at the efforts Centroid has made to reduce the cost of professional CNC control upgrades.

Centroid has just released a temporary price sheet.
"S" System pricing
Prices effective August 1, 2009 to November 1, 2009
Machines in Motion Inc. will maintain these prices for now.
I have represented Centroid Corp. for over 12 years now and I have never seen "sale" pricing from this company. As shown above, These discounted prices are temporary and will not be extended. If you have ever wanted Centroid professional quality on your CNC machine tool NOW'S the time to make that decision.

Save even more
Discounted pricing is just the beginning. Centroid has put together several new control system packages allowing for the continued use of your existing servo motors. For those of you with large format machinery we can also offer you continued use of your servo drivers as well. This is all due to Centroid's pioneering in newly designed circuit boards and "developed in-house" Linux based control software.

Today's Centroid control product can include
  • Scale feedback for higher machine precision. Basing the controlled CNC motion around your machine's actual axis position instead of the servo motor's rotation.
  • Higher speeds are now available due to faster chip sets engineered into our latest DSP control boards.
  • Special smoothing parameters have been developed to improve motion control of light weight and linear bearing type machinery.
  • Simplified PLC programming language will reduce the cost of custom programming.
  • New internal information sharing gives Centroid CNC controls nearly limitless programming capability. If someone told you "it can't be done" then check with Machines in Motion Inc. 
  • Networking to a remote location is now possible. Both Ethernet and USB memory devices are accepted for fast & simple file transfer.
  • Lower cost (third party) suppliers of high performance AC brushless servo motors are now supported. 
There are literally Too Many new developments to list everything here. I can offer you the following example of how our new control systems have slashed your cost to the bone.

Standard M-400S control system includes everything from the control console and keyboard to the servo motors and encoders. Computer, power supplies, cabling. All prewired and ready to bolt on. Your cost for this 3 axis control package is 10,960.00.
Centroid's latest MPU11 CNC control system includes their new DSP control card, wired electrical enclosure with PLC and 3 axis DC servo drive set. You retain your existing DC servo motors & encoders. You supply the PC computer, monitor, and keyboard.
Cost $4,410.00

Remember these are base prices for the hardware & software. Install it yourself or, for an additional amount, have it professionally installed by Machines in Motion Inc. Either system can be wired to control your existing spindle VFD or CW/ CCW magnetic contactors.
