To the left are photos of two differnet DeVlieg Jigmils, both are 4 axis horizontal steel cutting machines! Both machines now have CENTROID M400 4 axis CNC controls.

These machines are real workhorses. With the new CENTROID, the machines are able to produce parts not possible with the old control. Not to mention that it is much easier to program and setup. Other problems with the old control such as program memory, lack of look ahead, poor realiablity and high spare parts cost are now a thing of the past.

This Pratt and Whittney Viking HMC is equipped with a Centroid M-400 4 axis CNC control.

The block of steel you see here weighs 15,000 lbs! The control is 3D surfacing a mold for a rubber seal that is used in a large gate valve. This machine runs these types of parts day in and day out.

The retrofit saved the customer approximatley 100K over buying a new machine, not to mention the cost of rigging,shipping and tooling.

On the left is a Giddings and Lewis four axis horizontal machining center. This machine was retrofitted with a Centroid CNC for a tenth of the cost of a new machine with similar size and capabilities!

With 100 amp servo drives the Centroid has more than enough power to throw this machine around. The G and L now employs Centroid automatic tool measurement feature which save the operator from having to jump up on the machine to set a tool length.

The M-400 console is mounted on the optional Centroid control stand. This stand makes operation of the machine much more convenient than if the control was fixed. The operator can roll the control to his preferred working position. The angle of the console is also adjustable. Thanks to CNC Design.
