Centroid CNC control sales, service, training and support
- Centroid Software and Options Update to CNC11 control software version 3.16 for Windows (For MPU11-based controls with a PC sufficient for running Windows 7).
- The industry's most affordable replacement parts are available for every servo based CENTROID CNC control ever made. CENTROID designs and manufactures its own CNC CPU's, axis motor amplifiers, and machine tool PLC's, ensuring parts are always in stock if you should need them.
Welcome to CNC Services Northwest!
Since 1997 I have been helping owners of Centroid CNC controls throughout the Western United States and Canada get the most from their machines.
In addition to the Digitizing cycles, CENTROID CNC Digitizing packages include other useful CNC software options such as: Probing cycles, Coordinate System Rotation, and Unlimited File Size. These powerful tools can be used in conjunction with the digitzing process, part setup or any G-code or Conversational program.
If you already own a Centroid, I hope I can be of service to you.
If you are shopping for a control, for retrofit service, or for a complete CNC machine package, call me. I can supply a package that meets your needs.
New Low-cost DC-Servo Retrofit Kits
I have new retrofit kits available, ideal for the small-machine and home market. These kits are based on Centroid's All-in-one DC control unit.
Click here for details.
Upgrades for earlier Centroid DC-servo control systems
Centroid Acorn Cnc12
The All-in-one DC is also an effective upgrade path for earlier Centroid controls with DC servo drives and motors, such as M40, M400, M39, M400S and M39S units from 1993 to 2009.
Centroid control software updates
Centroid's mill and lathe control software is available for Windows, Linux and DOS. The available software and the operating systems you can use depend on your control hardware.
The latest Windows release is CNC12 version 4.14. CNC12 requires MPU11-family control hardware: either the MPU11 board, used with a GPIO4D or DC3IOB; the Oak control unit; or the All-in-one DC unit. The recommended Windows installation is Windows 10 Home.
Centroid Cnc Price
The latest Linux releases are CNC10 version 2.72 (for control computers with at least 256MB memory) and 2.38 (for control computers with less than 256 MB memory). Click here for Linux CNC10 information and features. CNC10 works with controls based on CPU7, CPU9 and CPU10 control boards.
Note that version numbering started over with the transition from DOS to Linux around 2004. Linux CNC10 version 1.10 was roughly equivalent to DOS CNC7 version 8.23.
The last DOS release is CNC7 version 8.23. Click here for DOS version 8.23 information and features. CNC7 works only with control systems based on CPU7 and CPU9 boards.

NWDNC
Easy worship software for mac free download. RS232 communications for DOS-based controls.
Receive job files (G codes) from any standard RS232 DNC sender: Cimco, Predator, Extreme DNC, Mastercam, Virtual Gibbs, etc. No need for INTERLNK and INTERSVR, so no problems with Windows 9x and FAT32.
With two keystrokes, your Centroid control is ready to receive the job. When the complete job has been received, it is automatically loaded and ready to run: just measure your tool lengths, set part zero, and go.
NWDNC can also send the current job back out to the DNC station. This is important if you maintain proven jobs in a central storage location.
NWDNC software: $120
