Centroid Acorn CNC Control Kit
Acorn CNC control kits are both a CNC Hardware and CNC Software DIY system designed to work together for easy CNC setup and operation with minimal fuss.
Centroid “Acorn” Step and Direction CNC Controller kit: a 4-axis CNC control with built-in motion control CPU.
A reliable, high-performance, industrial-quality CNC control at a do-it-yourself price. Acorn utilizes an integrated 1Ghz ARM Cortex A8 Motion Control CPU and communicates with CNCPC via a fast and reliable Ethernet connection.
The Acorn CNC control board controls a wide variety of axis motors and drives with industry-standard step and direction command signals. Perfect for many types of machine tools such as CNC milling machines, a wide variety of CNC Routers, CNC Plasma, CNC lathes to CNC Lasers, 3D printers, and other specialty applications.
Compatible with small to large-axis motors of all types and can be used with most any AC brushless servo motors drive packages such as DMM, Delta, Estun, Teco, Teknic, Yaskawa, and others. Any drive that accepts step and direction commands.
Most all stepper motor drives are compatible with the Acorn board such as the popular Gecko and Leadshine stepper drives. Acorn runs on Centroid’s proven industrial-quality CNC control software.

Acorn Relay Module included with all Acorn CNC controller kit orders
Plug and Play Relay Outputs with the Acorn CNC Relay Board! Direct connection to the Acorn board with the supplied ribbon cable makes connecting and getting a relay board up and running a 5-second operation. The Plug and Play relay module allows CNC-controlled connections to various CNC devices such as VFD’s, solenoids, lights, fans, pumps, motors, other larger relays, and contactors in a compact format. The 8-relay module contains eight SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) high current relays (10 AMPS at 250 VAC,and 10 amps at 30 VDC) which can directly control any device rated at or below the maximum rating of the relays. If higher current devices are required these relays can then in turn control larger relays or contactors to control the higher current device! The relay module has onboard LED indicator lights for each relay.
