Now suppose it's heading to a position beyond the end stop. It goes into the slow zone and then hits the hard limit - but it does this at a speed set to NOT damage the machine.What would actually happen, if Soft Limits are set correctly, is it would go into the slow zone and come to a stop before it actually triggers the Hard Limit. It will allow you to reposition and no Hard Limits will have been hit so no loss of position.
