Bandit - Summit.Dana CNC close their doors in the USA
Bandit - Summit/Dana CNC is long gone but many examples of the CNC machines they built still exist. Support for the Bandit line of cnc controls is non-existent. Bandit CNC was a major player early on in the CNC machine industry. Without technical support or new repair parts, Bandit CNC owners are choosing Centroid CNC Controllers to upgrade their CNC machine tools. New Features like familliar Windows operating system - USB ports and high speed networking The Centroid CNC is a huge improvement. There are many more serious advantages to upgrading your older control.

Upgrade your Bandit - Summit CNC CNC control.

Make that older CNC machine a reliable part of your business.

For DC servo motors larger than 40"/lbs in size, Powered by an existing third party servo drive. Select the GPIO4d board set.
For AC brushless servo drives configured to work in velocity mode. Select the GPIO4d board set.
For AC brushless servo drives configured for position mode including new Yaskawa or Delta servo drives select the OAK board set.
For machines retaining their OEM Fanuc servo motors Centroid offers a board and software set engineered especially for this purpose. Contact Machines in Motion, Inc. for more information or Download this price sheet for additional details.
