Wondering if it’s possible to use the Masso on the gen 2.
The gen two is only available with the Redline HMI and Realtime controller.
Yep, I can see that. I guess I could have been a bit more clear.
If I buy a gen 2 without the screen can I ditch the redline controller and attach the Masso I have on my gen 1 elite?
It’s semi-possible , but it will not have any technical support in the unofficial configuration.
You’d need different wires, homing sensors and power supply (The gen 1 elite power supply will not supply sufficient power for the gen 2 upgraded 2Nm motors).
Hey, thanks for the response, especially on a Sunday!
I am thinking about this based on the current sale…
Buy a new Foreman - works package or whatever makes sense…
Build the Gen 2 machine - take all my masso stuff off my Gen 1 - put it on Gen 2
Sell the Gen 1 machine with Redline equipment
Obviously warranty will be a nightmare…Pretty much I am on my own - but I already was and am, so not much has changed
The really silly thing is depending on what I can get for a used machine, that is cheaper than replacing my tool holders, not to mention the spindle
Any chance Redline supports a PWNCNC spindle with ISO tool changer?
How many aux outputs does it support? - currently I am using 6 from Masso, although 2 are lights, so I could squeak by with 4 - at least one has to be a toggle though
