| Horizontal machining center retrofits: Devlieg, Pratt and Whitney, G and L | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| With a new Centroid CNC retrofit you can bring these great machines back to life for a fraction of the cost of a new replacement machine. There are lots of old Horizontal Milling machines out there with old outdated controls that are prime candidates for a Centroid CNC retrofit. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Here are photos of two DeVlieg Jigmils, both
are 4 axis horizontal steel cutting machines! A Centroid M-400 CNC has replaced the original control. These machines are real workhorses. With the new Centroid, the machine is 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 memory, 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. |
