Machine builder from Germany

[Tigger]

Hello, I am Gerhard, 50 years old and a mechanical engineer. I am currently converting a small CNC lathe Lux Turn (350kg) from old Fanuc to a Masso-Touch control. Masso is not yet so well known in Germany, but what I have researched has made me quite enthusiastic about Masso turning. If needed, I hope for some support here in the forum. First of all I wish everyone a Happy New Year 2024.

Gerhard

Welcome to the forum and Happy New Year.

I have Masso controlling my CNC router, and can say that the support through the forum is excellent.

As an aside, I am always looking out for a good quality small footprint CNC lathe, and the LUX-TURN looks to be a great machine. I had recently bookmarked a build that converted one to LinuxCNC -

I have not see these come up for sale in my area of Canada.

Hello TM Toronto,
Thank you for that Video Link. I know that person personally. He is the godfather of Lux Turn and Lux Mill in Germany. He rebuilts serveral, and made nice videos about it.
Best wishes Gerhard.

What a great connection - I will have to watch his other videos. I suppose all those Saturday morning German school classes I protested as a child are in fact paying off

Please keep us updated as your Masso conversion progresses.

Hallo Michael,
sehr schönes Projekt! Bist Du schon fertig, ober schraubst Du noch. Ich habe gerade eine kurze Schaffenspause bevor ich bei mir die Letzten Arbeiten an meiner Drehe mit Masso machen werde. Ist nicht mehr viel. Ich komme aus der Nähe von Düsseldorf.

Hallo Gerhard,

Ich bin soweit fertig. Mit der Maschine fräse ich Formen für meine alte Arburg C4 Spritzguss Maschine. Die Isel Maschinen sind sehr stabil gebaut, fräse aber nur Aluminium.

Grüße Michael

Uhi, klasse. Was sind das für Kunststoff-Teile? Mein nächstes Projekt wird der Umbau meiner Mineralguss Fräse, auch für den Formenbau" von Mach3 auf MASSO. Ich glaube das wird einfacher, da ich alle Motoren drin lassen kann. Sie läuft sehr schön, aber ich mag Mach3 nicht so sehr.

Which company made the mineral cast CNC shown in the image?
I have looked at those from Muller CNC-Technik in Germany - like the FS4MG - but shipping anything like this to Canada becomes very expensive.
I really like their builds and components.

My mineral mill is the MPS m from a very specialiced german company: Abel technologies.

I have the first version without housing and without tool changer. But I am very happy with it.

Ich spritze Antriebszahnräder für alte VDO Tachos, die jemand repariert. Bin aber noch am Anfang.
