SERVO DRIVE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGE BY FAULTY MOTORS OR WIRING.
The information provided by CENTROID relating to wiring, installation, and operation of CNC components is intended only
as a guide, and in all cases a qualified technician and all applicable local codes and laws must be consulted. CENTROID makes
no claims about the completeness or accuracy of the information provided, as it may apply to an infinite number of field conditions.
As CNC control products from CENTROID can be installed on a wide variety of machine tools NOT sold or support by
CENTROID, you MUST consult and follow all safety instructions provided by your machine tool manufacture regarding
the safe operation of your machine and unique application.
Servo Motor Handling
When working with servo motors:
·NEVER pick up or carry the motor by the cables or the shaft. (Always carry by the frame.) Use a crane or lift to move the
motor when necessary.
·NEVER drop or subject the motor to impact. The servo motor is a precision device.
·NEVER set heavy or sharp objects on the motor or cables. Do not step or sit on the motor or cables.
·NEVER use a metal hammer on any part of the motor. If it is absolutely necessary to use a hammer, use a plastic
hammer.
Keep the motor properly secured and away from the edge of the work area when servicing the motor, as a dropped motor could
cause personal injury or destroy the motor.

Basic Safety Procedures and Best Practices
For Motors
Be safely dressed when handling a motor. Wear safety shoes and gloves. Avoid loose clothing which can get caught on the
motor. Be careful not to let hair get caught in the rotary section of the motor. Do not handle the motor with wet hands.
Shut off the power before working on a motor. Wait at least 5 minutes after the motor is shut off before touching any power
terminals.
Ensure that the motor and motor related components are mounted securely. Ensure that the base or frame to which the motor is
mounted to is strong enough.
Do not touch the rotary section of the motor when it is running unless instructed to.
When attaching a component having inertia to the motor, ensure any imbalance between the motor and component is minimized.
Be sure to attach a key to a motor with a keyed shaft.
Use the motor in appropriate environmental conditions. Do not store flammables in close proximity to the motor. When not in use,
store the motor in a dry location between 0° to 40° C.
Do not remove the nameplate from a motor.
For Circuit Boards
Minimize handling circuit boards as much as possible. If you must hold a circuit board, grab it by the edges as shown below in
figure 2. Avoid touching any of the circuits, components, or component leads. Improper handling lead to ESD (electrostatic
discharge) which can damage the PCB, and shorten the operational lifespan.
Keep the work are free from static generating materials such as Styrofoam, vinyl, plastic, and fabrics.

INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how to install the Centroid CNC (Computer Numerical Control) system with an OAK CNC Control. The PC
based system provides up to four axes (upgradable to eight axes) of closed loop servo interpolated motion, controlled by industry
standard G-Codes.
The Oak can be used for the CNC control of milling machines, routers, lathes, flame cutters, plasma cutters, laser cutters, water
jet cutters, drill presses, grinders, and other specialized applications.
This installation manual covers the most common Oak hardware setups. For the rest of the manual, we will assume the
installation is a three axis mill.
This system is intended to be installed by competent installers, retro-fitters, and machine tool builders who want to do their own
installation. This installation manual is not intended for casual end users. Users of this manual should be comfortable with the
following:
•basic wiring
•reading basic electrical schematics
•PC skills (copying, pasting, extracting zip files, knowledge of directories)
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Installing the Centroid CNC12 based Oak Board system is a straight forward process if the directions are followed. Before getting
started, please take the time to familiarize yourself with the schematics, manuals and installation instructions.
While doing the installation, it is very important that you follow the instructions exactly and in order. Doing the installation
incrementally and testing as you go will allow you to immediately isolate the cause of any problems that you may run into.
Additional troubleshooting is included in the appendices.
USEFUL RESOURCES
Appendix A includes troubleshooting procedures for various common problems.
If you run into a problem first refer to the troubleshooting procedure, then the Appendix.
