I bought a manual cold saw this year that I've updated with a ball screw feeder and an electric cylinder made also with a ball screw.
Work OK for now but will need some help to program the feeder, feeder have about 30in of travel with limit switches at both end.
There is a pneumatic vice on the feeder and on the saw.
I've added 4 buttons on the screen, Open and close feeder vise and 2 others for the saw vice.
Both vises can also be actuated with 4 macros for programming, M200, 201, 202 and 203.
What I would like to achieve, is when the feeder is near the limit switch, would return at the starting point and continue feeding the stock.
Will update this thread with pictures, camera still in the shop and I'm at home right now.
