Founded in 1979 by a computer programmer and an electronics engineer, CENTROID CNC designs and manufactures CNC control systems, retrofit kits and turnkey machine tools from its Pennsylvania facilities. Its distinctive hybrid architecture pairs a Windows PC interface with dedicated motion-control hardware, serving both OEM builders and DIY users. CENTROID also builds five-axis machining centers for engine shops that can digitize and port cylinder heads or machine engine blocks on the same machine.
