This is a 110VAC Primary / 83VAC & 24VAC Secondary Step-Down Transformer
Capacitor and Rectifying Bridge not included, if you need the whole kit please see here.
This transformer is commonly used in Allin1DC CNC control system that use DC servo motors that are rated Below 155 VDC as their maximum input voltage.
Many common DC servo axis motors found on knee mills, bed mills made through out the 90's and 2000's are rated around 140 VDC as a maximum. So, these DC servo motors require this transformer is to "step down" 110/120 single phase VAC to 83 VAC which then is converted to DC power via Centroid's DC cap and bridge combo (#12726)
Note: These two Centroid products are sold together as well.
In the case of a new control system or if the retrofit step down transformer is missing or damaged Centroid sells this step down transformer kit for use with servo motors that are rated below 155 vdc as a maximum. DC Power Supply with Transformer Motor rated at 160 DC or greater do not need a step down transformer.
(Note: When using DC servo motors rated at 155 VDC and greater this transformer is not necessary. Centroid's current DC servo motors do not require this transformer as they are rated at 180 VDC max 110/120 VAC can directly be rectified with (#12726). Older Centroid servo motors did have a lower maximum voltage rating and would require a step down transformer.)

The Centroid USB Operator Control Panel Interface Board (aka “USB-BOB”) is a CNC machine tool operator control panel interface board that connects to the CNCPC via a USB port. The Operator Control Panel Interface Board is intended to be an affordable, reliable, alternative to traditional methods of building CNC control operator control consoles/panels. The USB-BOB provides inputs for the most commonly used operator controls in a package that installs quickly with minimal fuss saving on wiring/installation labor and CNC controller inputs. It features inputs for three standard rotary encoders with integrated push-button, three MPG hand-wheel encoders, 12 optically isolated switch inputs, and 12 open collector LED outputs. The USB-BOB can be used in conjunction with Centroid’s popular Virtual Control Panel or without.
The USB-BOB is plug and play with preprogrammed button and knob functionality: Many common functions like Cycle Cancel, Tool Check, Feed Hold and Cycle Start along with Rapid Override, Spindle Speed Override and Feedrate Override are preprogrammed and user select-able with easy drag and drop installation.
In addition to these pre-programmed controls, all controls are user configurable through Centroid’s CNC PLC language so user can customize both the button or knob functionality to suit their application and tastes.
Common uses:
• Physical buttons and knobs for core/common operator functions simplifying the design for a hard operator console
• Supplement Centroid Virtual Control Panel with physical controls without using up any CNC control board inputs
• Add separate Rapid Override to Centroid Legacy control systems that did not have this feature.
Centroid "USB-BOB" Operator Control Panel Interface Manual
Note: For Allin1DC and Oak, custom PLC modification is required to support USB-BOB at this time.
The CENTROID AC/DC drive can power AC brushless servo motors (or large DC motors, hence the name AC/DC drive) with ratings of up to 4kW or 30 amps continuous output. Up to 8 axis can be controlled simultaneously. Popular on production machines where very high rapid rates are desired and on large machines which require high torque axis motors. The AC/DC drive can be used to run existing AC brushless servo motor when upgrading an existing CNC control saving money and installation time. Some motors will require an encoder upgrade.

When choosing the motor type note the motor physical size, power rating, useful RPM when sizing to your application.
750 watt (80 mm frame, 3000 rpm, 2.39 N-m cont., 5000 max rpm)
Where the "80 mm frame" refers to the square face frame size of the 750 watt motor. Reference the complete ELM2 servo motor dimensional specifications here.
and the "3000 rpm" refers to the useful, normal RPM range of the 750 watt motor (0-3000)
and "2.39 N-m" is the useful, normal continuous torque output of the 750 watt motor in Newton Meters
and the "5000 max rpm" is the maximum RPM of the 750 watt servo motor, this max rpm can be reached for short periods by the motor as long as the motor load is not excessive. Note: Torque will fall off from the continuous torque rating above the useful RPM, in this example 3000 rpm.
Gear and Size the machine tool kinematics for the desired results (machine max rates, accuracy and power) if in doubt its always best to use the next size larger servo motor/drive package.

Choose between two stock lengths, 12 foot and 16 foot. These cables use twisted pair made-in-USA wire and are properly shielded and grounded for reliable encoder signal and are built and assembled by Centroid in the USA. (If a longer cable is required, we suggest purchasing the bulk encoder cable)
These cables are commonly used when upgrading DC servo motor encoders for use with the Allin1DC CNC controller. These cables can also be used for spindle encoder applications on both the Allin1DC and Acorn CNC controllers. One end of the cable is a DB9 connector which plugs directly into the Allin1DC or Acorn CNC controller, the other end of the cable is a single row flat pin connector (9 pin C-grid connector) which plugs into the Centroid Encoder pig tail mating connector.
A mating 9 pin C-grid connector and pins are optional with this cable for the case when a non-Centroid encoder is used. The optional mating 9 pin C-grid connector can be installed on the non-Centroid encoder pig tail wires which then allows the encoder to plug directly into this cable with no soldering or cutting of this cable.

CNC Operator control panel (#14612)
If you like pressing buttons rather than touching a screen use this tough Centroid Operators control panel. Its made in USA and uses stainless steel dome buttons that provide positive tactile feedback. Constructed of steel the bezel can mount into pendant box or flush to any cut out. The high quality overlay made from durable grease and chemical resistant special flexible plastic designed for the machine shop environment. Use as a replacement for the VCP (virtual control panel (touch screen)) OR use in conjunction with the VCP. The VCP and the control panel are user configurable so they can be setup to match functionality.
The operator panel can be installed several different ways:
1.) Mount in a CNC console
2.) Machine Panel Mount (console is part of the machine tool)
3.) Corded Hand Held with 16' cord, steel construction, rubber handles and magnets on the back.
A lower cost ($0) alternative to this piece of hardware is the software based Touch Screen Virtual Machine Control Panel (VCP). The VCP allows the functionality of this Hardware based Operators Control Pendant when using a Touch Screen LCD as the CNC control display. The touch screen VCP is included with Centroid CNC control software CNC12 and can be used without or in conjunction with this hardware based Operator's Control Pendant.
Longer cords up to 50' are available call for quote or just use the Wireless MPG for long distance applications

Servo Motor Upgrade Encoder Kit (#3403, 4127, 2848, 4655, 14442, 14368)
Commonly used to upgrade old existing DC servo motors to be compatible with the Centroid Allin1DC. See example servo motor encoder upgrade here. Replaces Tachometers, Resolvers and Low-resolution Encoders. Upgrade existing DC servos to the latest technology for silky smooth closed loop CNC operation. Centroid stocks these high resolution, 5vdc, quadrature differential encoders in several commonly found shaft sizes. Encoder to Encoder cable pigtail included which allows plug and play compatibility with Centroid Encoder Cables, no crimping or soldering needed. Please measure the servo motor encoder shaft diameter before ordering. Find more technical how-to information on Encoders here.
To reduce unwanted noise and connection issues, a SHIELDED ethernet cable must be used between the CNCPC and the CNC control board.
We are now offering standard lengths up to 50' of Shielded Ethernet Cables to our customers who have longer runs between their CNCPC and CNC Controllers.
Product may vary from image shown. Cables may come as Cat5e or Cat6a, depending on our supplier's stock.

Looking for an MPG for an older CNC10 system? Please email us your system serial number.
CNC10 Kits numbers had 5 digits (Note: if you have a 6 digit Kit number that is a CNC11/CNC12 system).
How to locate serial number
Use the Manual Pulse Generator to jog the machine tool, very useful for part and tool setups. Order with or without internal bulk head cable. If you have a factory built M400/T400 CNC control or if you ordered the CNC console conduit cable kit you do not need to buy the internal bulkhead cable. If you are building a DIY CNC control based on the Oak cnc controller you will need the internal bulkhead cable to connect this MPG to the Oak or Allin1DC board.
