Hi Sourabh
Masso is a 5 axis Controller + spindle. This is fixed in hardware and a 6th axis cannot be physically added and there is no C axis.
You will need to forgive my ignorance but i had a look at the video and counted only 5 axis and a spindle on the machine. I'm assuming the 6th axis is a dual Y axis configuration. If this is the case you can run 2 drives on the Y axis using hardware slaving. You loose the auto squaring feature but other than that it would run the same.
Cheers
Peter

Hello Peter,
I did some more research and found that it's a 3 axis cnc with 2 axis head mounted on z and a lathe attachment + spindle. You can check more videos on the below link. This lathe attachment will be counted as second spindle or a 6th axis? Pardon for my little knowledge.

Guaranteed gains with the 5-axes machining centre Breton Contourfive + lathe!
Bridge saws, cnc contouring machines, edge polishing machines.

That is a common machine configuration in marble market.
XYZ are linear axes to move the Head
AC axes are for tilting spindle (which can mount normal tools or saw disks).
B is for interpolated or indexed turn axis.
Total is 6 axis for this CNC machine.
Breton uses proprietary CAD/CAM to power this type of kinematic.

Hi Sourabh
The rotary axis was right under my nose and I didn't see it. Given my inability to count I might not be the right person to ask.
That said Masso is still a 5 axis controller and you cannot add a 6th to it.

I've some info about RTCP tilting head solution but I guess is politically uncorrect to link them here.
I've written the previous message because is interest of all to know that some application recquire different solutions, tilting head is an application case which some time I've solved.
