Avid CNC Chooses Centroid CNC Technology



Avid CNC, provider of curated CNC kits designed to take the mystery out of building a CNC machine, has chosen Centroid CNC technology to power its next generation EX CNC controllers for its CNC router and CNC plasma machine tool lineups.

Avid CNC's turn-key EX CNC Controller is designed to make getting a CNC machine tool up and running straightforward with its plug & play connectors, guided set-ups, straightforward operation with conversational style menus and on-screen operator controls. All of which is delivered on a stable, feature-rich CNC software platform that is specifically designed for use with its high-performance CNC hardware.

"By choosing Centroid, Avid CNC continues to innovate and expand its CNC machine tools with better cutting performance, time saving CNC accessories and new operator friendly CNC software features that simplify part production for a quicker path to customer success," said a spokesperson.

There are a number of key technical reasons that Avid CNC chose Centroid as its CNC controller hardware and software partner. The Centroid system provides Avid CNC with the CNC tools and feature set that they needed to move forward with its planned product improvements while simultaneously solving outstanding issues with the previous controller that was employed. New features of the Avid EX CNC control, such as motion smoothing and auto touch plate set-up routines, produce better parts faster with fewer mistakes.

Avid CNC has also teamed up with another American company, Teknic Inc., employing its Clearpath line of brushless closed loop axis motors. The Teknic Clearpath servo motors have long been supported by the Centroid CNC controller with smooth, reliable operation. The Clearpath servos commanded by the Centroid based Avid EX CNC controller provide a significant leap in Avid CNC machine tool performance with strong, smooth, accurate motion, yielding improved surface finishes while reducing cycle times and eliminating scrap.

The Avid EX CNC controller is also plug & play backward compatible with existing Avid CNC Machine tools. Long time Avid users have an upgrade path to keep their existing machines running while adding new capabilities and better performance.

The Avid EX CNC controller is available:

  • As the CNC controller for all new Avid CNC machine tool kits
  • As a plug & play upgrade controller for existing Avid CNC customers
  • As a DIY CNC controller package for other similar CNC routers and plasma machine tools.
