This Dust Hood logic is for MASSO G3 and MASSO Touch and is only available in Beta version 5.100b or higher.

Dust Hood

The Dust hood logic has been removed from tool changer logic and is now a stand alone.

There are 2 types of Dust Hood logic available depending on the type of Dust Hood you have on your machine.

A manual override has been added and is available from the MDI screen to disable the Dust hood from operating and can be accessed and operated while the machine is running.

This allows all tool changers including manual tool change to have a dust hood if required.

The Dust hood is controlled by the Spindle and is automatic.

• When the spindle turns on the Dust hood moves down
• When the spindle turns off the Dust hood moves up

This is useful if the tool being used is too large for the dust hood or if the user just wants to see the cut as it occurs.

The MDI screen can be accessed while the machine is running and the Dust Hood disabled and enabled as required while machining.

The default state for the Dust hood when you power MASSO on is for Dust hood enable and it can be disabled by opening the MDI screen and pressing the button to change it to disabled
