Easy To Use
Avoid the constant struggle with "Special" hard keys and confusing
screens. The M-15
is straightforward with icons and soft keys relevant to each screen.
Reliability
The M-15 is immune to noise generated by poor electrical grounds, welding
equipment, and noisy machines. Thanks to optical isolation and quality
engineering,
Centroid continues to set standards for the CNC industry.
Smooth Operation
Unlike other controls, the M-15 cuts with ultra-fine resolution, making
it perfect for
complex contour surfacing and engraving. And with standard 640K File
Size (Unlimited
File Size optional) and 600 block-per-second process speed, you'll
never have to
dripfeed or fight with large program files again.
Support and Service
Solutions to all of your technical questions are just a phone call
away. Our support
continues even after your purchase of any Centroid control.
Price
Dollar-for-dollar, the M-15 has more features than any other CNC control
in its class.
Centroid can't be beat.
Advanced 3 Axis Control
For mold, die and pattern shops, the M-15 control provides virtually
unlimited part
program storage and the ability to process even the most complicated
3D part at up to 600 G-code blocks per second. Program a finer step over
in any CAD/CAM system and reduce the time it takes to hand finish the part.
No Dripfeed Required
M-Series controls can run multi-megabyte G-code programs directly from
system
memory without the need to dripfeed from another computer.
Multiple Language display
The on screen language can be changed from English
to Spanish or French with a simple control code.
Short Run and Prototype Parts
For job and production shops, the M-Series controls provide faster
part and tooling
setup, easier programming of parts, and easy loading of jobs programmed
off-line. Floppy disk, RS-232, and Network file transfers are all possible.
Graphical G-code Editing (GGE)
Simple graphical format makes the M-15 control as easy to program as
any 2 axis
control with the added benefit of an automatic Z axis. This
is an extremely efficient programing method. Very easy to learn. Of course
you can always post out from your cad/cam system.
Canned Cycles
The operator is prompted to enter dimensions step-by-step from the
part blueprint.
Each operation is called a "Canned Cycle", eliminating the need to
use cumbersome
G-codes. Pockets, frames, bolt hole patterns, drilling cycles, and
face mills are all
included.
3D Graphics
Make checking your tollbooth a snap. View your part from any angle;
zoom in/out, pan,
or step through each part event to ensure correct tool paths before
you cut a single
part. Change from 3 to 2 dimensions to check your part with your blueprint.
Canned Routines
Copy, rotate, and mirror all or just a section of your part. Cut multiple
parts in multiple
fixtures. Make left or right hand parts. Canned routines can be "nested"
up to 10
levels.
Advanced Graphical Math Help
Find unknown intersections and tangent points by picking the scenario
from the Math
Help icon screen. Fill in the known information from the blueprint.
The program gives
you every possible solution which you can paste into the current line
or arc event.
Teach Mode
Use a pointer or tool to manually "map" out an existing part. Complex
contours
containing both lines and arcs can be programmed quickly. You can even
digitize
logos and artwork.
Digitizing & Probing
Are available options on this control.
Multiple Work Coordinate Systems
Choose from 6 different coordinate systems to create a multiple fixture
machine; or
use WCS to mill the same part in different locations.
Applications
Centroid CNC controls fit a wide variety of applications. Revitalizing
old NC/CNC
machines with a new M-15 is a profitable alternative that many shops
are choosing.
Centroid makes it easy; all controls come wired and labeled ready to
bolt on.
