Centroid introduces a Plasma CNC control system with its high performance real time closed loop THC that is now compatible with the Primeweld Cut 60 plasma cutter. Now an affordable Plasma Cutter is available for those Plasma machine builders that are on a budget that yields high performance plasma cutting action.
Uwe Mattern writes on the Acorn forum:
"sorry no problems....my cheap little mill runs without problems, Acorn and 4.99 beta software.
16h shift with 6000rpm, only short stops for changing work-pieces and still running perfectly
Will not get higher than 45°C, original only build for 2250 rpm
Can not complain about reliability with Acorn running short vector 4 Axis stuff day in day out

"Hi Guys,
Bit of an update, the ATC is working now I've figured out a crude double pole relay mod for the drive for it (its all in another help post).So here it is, the 1st successful tool change. I still need to align it perfectly and get rid of some shims but I don't care, I'm still calling it a success, and I'm excited to get it filled up with tools, finally.
The ATC build is running on a stepper pulse gen board (ebay), through the stepper driver, through a 100/1 harmonic drive GB (long story).Now onto the 4th axis, harmonic drive again with a teknic SDSK to match the rest of the axis's.
Hopefully the below link works this time.............. I was excited just a little bit."
