Tnx for the review! Very helpfull!

Thanks for the review

been thinking about the Masso for awhile thanks for the review

Cool channel, subscribed!

how do you wire up your stepper cards to this

I noticed you didn’t use the ES output on the Masso. Can you explain how you are handling an E-stop condition? Just curious as I’m currently wiring my CNC and using a Masso touch.

I am so tired of my RichAuto controller on my Axiom AR6 router. Especially given I use Fusion 360 and its had its issues with a Post Processor. This looks like a really good change which can allow for better control of spindle speed and programming other things like a mechanical dust shoe and mister

What about federate overrides for running program the first time?

Hi. There is the possibility to write your own macros ?

No macros no memory running off a usb stick doesn't sound good on long programs but it does look nice ill keep running my tried and true solid uccnc.

overall price point is pretty good, its the closest thing I have seen to a real industrial controller. all those PC controllers just dont do it for me, but then I come from siemens and fanuc controllers. If I could get a fanuc controller I would put it on everything. Granted I have not used this controller, but the #1 thing that stops us from buying a controller or machine is the lack of switches and knobs. case in point, I will not buy a haas machine as they are not good for a job shop, mass production yes, but proving out a program on a controller without the ability to operate it without looking is a nogo for me. example, turning flood coolant on/off with a switch while not looking. lowering raising rapids without looking, single cycle, etc..

I got the Masso Touch for my PrintNC build.A little intimidated about my electrical enclosure and wiring.

I was thinking of buying this system but I went another way so my bank account wasn't empty to a greedy company. So it worked out I can buy 5 of a anther provider's unit and the money saved I purchased another machine with tools and still have money in my pocket.

I'm converting an old meccanica cortini l300 4 axis mill, is this controller fast enough to do HSM or complex 3d toolpaths? Like 100 lines of code a second or more? this is my main concern atm, does it have look ahead and smoothing?

The price of the extra axis made cry tears of joy. Haas charges over $1500 for just rigid tap option lol.

does anyone know if this will work with an older servo drive system?

When you buy a car with a big screen and you don’t pay the $2k for the gps nav it’s still there in the car, you just don’t have the code to enable it. It’s a standard biz practice. That way they simplify production. I don’t think you can expect them to give you stuff free. They are in business after all. I think their price point is charging what the market will bear. That’s straight forward business 101. They aren’t a charity. If they don’t deliver on performance then you have a beef but if it’s good and people are buying it then what do you expect?

It would be nice if there was a feed over ride.

Does the Masso also replace the stepped drivers or do you still need the stepper drivers?

Nice video. Can you tell me the manufacturer code / part number of the touchscreen itself? Maybe it's somewhere visible from the back. Curious what they actually built into this pendant.

Did you check out acorn six controller from centroid?

Hi, my name is Guillermo (Bill) Marrufo from Mexico, I wonder what the resolution it has. I intend to build a 3+2 axis laser engraving machine for irregular 3D surfaces. Being dedicated to plasma, I tend to think it may not have the precision I need for very fine intricate details. Thanks for your time answering.

can you set a password on it?

Masso doesn't support macros so I got rid of Masso - sold it

If only Masso had screw mapping.

If I’m correct, there is No network, Wi-Fi connection or onboard memory. I’ll stick with a Centroid controller.

Did the price for the masso just jump up like $500 in the past 6 months? I swear it wasn't $1700 the last time i checked.

I might need bleach for my eyes now :) ... Did you use red wires for GND ? Tisk tisk tisk.

Pass

"You dont have to use PC" is really not a great argument. Most of DIY people and especially professionals have some PC that is not used. Also if you build a PC into a machine you do not place any other software unless its for CNC process so crashing is not a problem. As you pointed out, Masso is also crashing and if you run your system from SSD on PC it will start in just few seconds. I try to find a good argument for purchase of Masso G3 but I cannot find it, GUI is not enough as selling point.

its not worth the price, there are too many g codes that it dont support, for a machinest its a nogo for a wood router ok

Don't waste money and time with this underdeveloped Masso ...look out somewhere...industrial standard at same price as Masso

could they use cheaper buttons? looks like junk.
