I
NTRODUCTION
This manual describes how to install the Centroid CNC (Computer Numerical Control) system with an OAK CNC Control. The PC
based system provides up to four axes (upgradable to eight axes) of closed loop servo interpolated motion, controlled by industry
standard G-Codes.
The Oak can be used for the CNC control of milling machines, routers, lathes, flame cutters, plasma cutters, laser cutters, water
jet cutters, drill presses, grinders, and other specialized applications.
This installation manual covers the most common Oak hardware setups. For the rest of the manual, we will assume the
installation is a three axis mill.
This system is intended to be installed by competent installers, retro-fitters, and machine tool builders who want to do their own
installation. This installation manual is not intended for casual end users. Users of this manual should be comfortable with the
following:
•
basic wiring
•
reading basic electrical schematics
•
PC skills (copying, pasting, extracting zip files, knowledge of directories)
