MASSO G3 Touch & MASSO G3: PROFESSIONAL
Engineered for manufacturing businesses and advanced users who are looking to streamline production, customise machine control logic, scale efficiently and run complex machining without compromise.
The Professional tier is built for serious production environments where throughput, precision and automation drive competitive advantage. It introduces Lua custom scripting, advanced macro control, and powerful logic-based workflows that let you tailor the controller to your exact process, not the other way around. Ideal for multi-axis, multi-machine or lights-out manufacturing, it supports complex sequencing, conditional job logic, integrated diagnostics and real-time automation triggers. The result is faster throughput, higher repeatability, less operator intervention and a CNC environment engineered for scalable, professional-grade efficiency.
You get everything in Core and Advanced, plus:
- Lua custom scripting for full automation logic and conditional control
- Advanced macro support for complex, reusable machining sequences
- Real-time event triggers (react to sensors, states, alarms, inputs)
- Expanded I/O mapping and logic for custom automation hardware
- Multi-machine coordination and interlocked process control
- User-defined safety and interlock logic with override conditions
- Custom UI elements & on-screen prompts driven by scripts
- Data logging & process tracking hooks for external systems
- Lights-out manufacturing workflows with programmable recovery logic
