Where can I get download MASSO controller software?
When you purchase your MASSO controller, an account for MASSO myWorkshop is created for you to
manage controllers and software. If the unit was purchased through a machine manufacturer or a distributor
then your myWorkshop account will be created by them. If for some reason you haven't received the
myWorkshop details, email support with your MASSO serial number and email address. We will send you
login details of your myWorkshop account where you can download your software. All current software and
future software updates are available inMyworkshop https://docs.masso.com.au/my-workshop
Can you send a trial version of the software or can I run the MASSO software
on a PC?
MASSO is a stand-alone hardware unit and the software can only run on the MASSO controller hardware,
hence the software can't be run on a PC.
Do I need motor drives for my motors ?
Yes, you will need motor drives, MASSO outputs STEP\PULSE and DIRECTION signals which will then be
connected to your stepper or servo motor drives. Each of these requires different drive technologies and the
drive must be matched to the motor for optimum performance.

MASSO Touch has an integrated touch screen with MASSO G3 inside.
MASSO G3 does not come with a touch screen.

I have both a Mill and a Lathe, can I use MASSO to run both?
Yes, MASSO can be used to run Mill, Lathe or Plasma. When you purchase your MASSO you are
given access to all software and can change between software when you power on your MASSO.
The process to change between one software and another takes approximately 90 seconds from
start to ready to run.
