I'm getting conflicting information on compatibility between my 2021 VF2 and older rotaries. (date of manufacture as 03/21 and software 100.200.0000 (never software updated since I got it)
I'm specifically looking at buying a used HRT160SP.
1. This article has it as all Sigma 5 4th axis are compatible with every NGC.

2. https://www.haascnc.com/productivity/control/sigma5.html
This article has it as Sigma 5's were on all rotaries between May 2008 to October 2021 (meaning if I bought a rotary with my machine built in March it would have been a Sigma 5 and apparently not even compatible)
Also, I don't yet have a 4th axis card so that would be purchased new (if that is the source of the compatibility)

- NGC machines with software version 100.17.000.2030 or later require rotaries with Sigma 7 servomotors
- NGC machines with software version 100.19.000.1100 or later require rotaries with Sigma 7 servomotors
