New Features (Phase 1)
Cutter Compensation
Cutter compensation support has been added using G40, G41, and G42 commands. Z Wear support allows fine tool length adjustment using the Z Wear field in the F4 tool table.
A & B Axis Slaving Enhancements
The A and B axes can now be slaved to either the X or Y axis. In this version, A and B axes are disabled unless used in a slaved configuration. Full standalone axis support will be restored in later phases.
Multi-User Accounts
Support has been added for up to four user accounts per controller, allowing different access levels for operators in shared or educational environments.
User Control Rights
Each user account can now have individual access rights, including machine feed limits, tool changer control, and screen function restrictions.
Extended Work Offsets
Support has been added for 100 additional work offsets using G54.1 P1 to G54.1 P100. New G10 parameters allow work offsets to be set directly from G-code programs.
High-Speed Tool Changer Support
Support has been added for High-Speed Tool Changers.
Flexible Axis Slaving
X and Y axes can now be slaved to either the A or B axis.
C Axis Support
The A or B axis can now be configured as a C axis.
Easy Cursor Scroll
Holding the spacebar on the on-screen keyboard enables cursor scroll mode, allowing precise cursor positioning by sliding a finger. Releasing the spacebar returns the keyboard to normal operation.
M6.1 – Tool Unload Command
Support has been added for the M6.1 Tool Unload command. This is currently available for Linear Tool Changers, with support for additional tool changers planned for later phases.
Manual Tool Change Option
New tool change logic allows tools to be marked for manual change instead of automatic tool changer operation. This is useful for oversized tools.
New Linear Tool Changer Support
Support has been added for additional linear tool changer types.
Feed Override up to 150%
Feed override can now be adjusted in real time up to 150%.
Dust Hood Control
New dust hood logic automatically lowers the hood on M3 and raises it on M5. The dust hood can also be disabled from the MDI screen.
Improvements & Bug fixes
G-code Display Improvements
The currently executing G-code line is now displayed in the centre of the G-code window. G-code lines of any length can now be displayed during machining.
Spindle Information Display
The spindle display now shows spin-up and spin-down status. In multi-head mode, both the main spindle and current head information are displayed.
Thank you for being a BETA tester and helping improve MASSO.
