Easy drag and drop for Float Head and Breakaway setup menus in the Acorn Plasma setup Wizard, Auto Float Head offset distance compensation.

Built-in Conversational Programming: Program plasma parts with or without a CAD drawing with Centroid’s Intercon Plasma. Lines, Arcs, Squares, Circles, Rectangles, Kerf offset, Auto lead in/out, auto connect radius, Mirror, Rotate, Repeat, Teach Mode, DXF in, DXF out, now available in beta and included with the Plasma CNC12 installation.

Made in the USA: The Acorn Plasma system was engineered, built, and tested at our Centroid facility in the USA. Robust design, Rigorous testing = Years of trouble-free operation. CNC Software and Hardware are designed to work together. All units ship ready to run after thorough quality control and testing.
