AjaxCNC controls are servomotor-based industrial CNC controls with a user-friendly interface, conversational programming, G code editor, part program graphics, tool libraries and more. It is not just a "device driver" or a "create it yourself” software package like the competition. Our CNC kits are built right here in the USA by Centroid Corporation. AjaxCNC controls run on industry standard G and M codes so you can create parts with any CAD/CAM system, our conversational programming software, or write raw G-code yourself. AjaxCNC controls offer true simultaneous motion for up to 4-axis machines. Helical moves, arcs and other complex moves are fully interpolated which yields smooth, continuous 2D and 3D machining. AjaxCNC controls are self-tuning, which makes control setup simple and fast. Our advanced acceleration and deceleration control produces a superior part surface finish, which reduces your bench time grinding and polishing, and also extends tool life.


	The graphical and intuitive control ensures even the most inexperienced operator will be making good parts the very first day.	Conversational programming allows you to go from print to part in minutes with our extensive library of canned cycles and user-friendly part and tool setups.
