Oh boy, now I need to get these... I’ll need 7 of them to cover both machines. Pity about the 36 volt max - all of the power supplies for my existing 425 oz/in motors are 48v... Unrelated, but for anyone considering Masso, I recently passed 1000 jobs run on one of my machines and the other isn’t far behind. These things are reliable as hell. Tool changes without having to manually re-zero in between is priceless. Start a job one day, finish it the next... priceless. I went from hobbyist to being a full time manufacturer in about a year. Great presentation skills as always, Peter.
I suggest Cat 5 or Cat 6 Patchlead wire for the Data as it is multi strand, flexible and differential signals should be in twisted pairs and that cable have well defined pairs. I'm talking patchlead cable not building cable. Is is available in shielded. I suggest 0.75mm² cable for the power. Cheers Peter
@@cncnutzmassoedition9131 do you use 3 cables? All 8 wires in a cat 6, pairs to each, to the signal and directions , then another cable for the en and al, then another for the two power?
Are these suitable for Z axis. As i have seen closed loop motors do not have a holding capability when the power is turned off. So is it possible the Z axis can drop when the machine is not running
A closed loop stepper motor has exactly the same holding as an open loop stepper. You may be thinking of servos which have not detent to them so move very freely. Cheers Peter
@@cncnutzmassoedition9131 Not so. Polyphase or 3 phase motors are much quieter than bipolar. No need to pull them apart. The specifications will indicate the number of phases.
@@cncnutzmassoedition9131 By the way, I design and manucfacture servos. I only use servos on my cnc machines because I can't stand the noise of steppers. LOL. How's that for biassed. LOL. By the way again, I'm currently assembling a new lathe. It has servo driven spindle and tailstock as well as X and Z axes. This is the same as my current smaller lather. But I'm adding live tooling to this new one. A Masso is not yet purchased but will be soon. The biggest factor in the decision to go Masso, is your series of vids.

That's great. Hobby to full time job.
Glad it's working reliably for you.
Cheers Peter
Nice to hear. I just got my Masso up and running. Now I'll likely get the closed loop system.
By tool changes in between do you mean you have an atc spindle?
Looks like a nice piece of gear. Nicely done Peter.
Thanks Stephen
Great job Peter. 👍
Thanks Dave
What thickness cable needs to be used?
Can you do a clear path setup video
Are these rebranded chinese motors?
Everything is lol
Does masso support technical servo
Peter...what type and gauge of wire is recommended for hooking up the signal side and the power side..
I suggest Cat 5 or Cat 6 Patchlead wire for the Data as it is multi strand, flexible and differential signals should be in twisted pairs and that cable have well defined pairs. I'm talking patchlead cable not building cable. Is is available in shielded.

Are the motors bipolar or polyphase?
I don't actually know and it really doesn't matter. The only way of finding out is to disassemble it.
Cheers Peter
Mostly schizophrenic with bipolar tendencies ; )
