General Mach Discussion / Running spindle causes false limit switch triggering

« on: October 23, 2020, 01:22:24 AM »

I built pool cue lathe for someone and it worked perfect in my shop in Oklahoma but at his shop in Utah its triggering a false limit switch when spooling up the 220v spindle. The only differences is that the machine is at his shop now and is using a different computer. I never had this issue and it seems to be happening consistently at his shop. Im using NPN inductive proximity sensors for limit switches. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I need some help programing the m03 macro

I want my torch to come down and touch the plate until the switch is triggered then retract to Pierce height.

I have my switch connected to the mach3 probe input

I guess I need to know
how to make the torch move up and down
how to read the switch
how to zero the z axis
How to put a value into the z axis

Any help would be greatly appreciated
