Digitizing Package for M-Series Controls
Digitizing: Reproduce existing parts with your milling machine.

Centroid's Digitizing makes 3D milling easy because it eliminates cumbersome steps required by other control manufacturers. It's excellent for mold, electrode and pattern making. Copy any basic, free-form, or artistic part with ease. Automatically create complex shapes and patterns on any Centroid control equipped with Digitizing. Just start the digitizing cycle and walk away; the control does the rest. There's no need to drip feed from another computer. Whether you want a duplicate of a simple flange or a complex artistic mold or die; you can copy it hands free. No programming is necessary. All you need is an existing part or model. Copy and then cut the part on the same machine. Data is stored as part of the program right on the control. Centroid controls have the memory and processing speed to handle large files required by digitizing.

Reproduce parts that would be impossible any other way.

CENTROID's Digitizing will automatically copy any 2D or 3D contour and will automatically create the G code program to machine the reproduction. Great for reproducing machinery Cams, Molds, Plugs, Cylinder head combustion chambers, EDM electrodes, and any free form shape.

(Here you see a hand shaped combustion chamber being copied so that the machine can then reproduce the exact same chamber shape on the rest of the head. This particular head shown is being repaired. Exploded pistons have caused damage to several of the other combustion chambers. The original "good" combustion shape is digitized then damaged ones are machined back to original condition after they have been welded up.Click here for more info on cylinder

CENTROID manufactures its own touch probe which is more accurate and more reliable that other competing probes on the market. Designed specifically for Digitizing with a milling machine, this probe is so accurate the only limitation is the resolution of the milling machine. Manufactured of stainless steel the DP-4's mechanism requires only a feathers touch to trigger. Unlike other probes, the DP-4's low trigger force allows the use of small styli for maximum detail. The stylus is interchangeable and large selection of different sizes and types of styli are available. The size of styli depends on the size and shape of the object you are copying.

CENTROID Digitizing package for M39 and M400 $6095.00 USD
DP-4 probe alone $1895.00 USD (the DP-4 is included with Digitizing kit)

CENTROID's Digitizing is seamless with the control the software and is totally integrated into the CNC operating system making CENTROID's CNC digitizing the most user friendly available! With other control systems you'll have to buy software from one company, the probe from yet another company and then an extra PC to connect to the control to run it all. This is an expensive, troublesome way to get the job done. With a CENTROID, we have eliminated all the hassles and difficulties of digitizing with a CNC machine! The CENTROID automatically creates the G-codes as it digitizes. See graphics of the part immediately. No data manipulation is necessary to start cutting, and you can export the digitized part to a CAD/CAM

To digitize a shape, you need only to describe the approximate length, width, height, and the resolution that you would like to record at, and press start button. CENTROID's digitizing is completely automatic, no operator attendance is required while digitizing.

Mirror, Scale, Reversal, Automatic Rough and Finish pass generation, High speed processing, and Unlimited file size are all included, no extra software to purchase.
