General Mach Discussion / limit swith vibration

« on: December 26, 2015, 11:19:04 AM »

My limit switch's work as they are supposed to , my problem is when my spindle runs into a knot or heavy cutting ( wood router machine ) the vibration trips a limit switch . Usually the Z or Y switch , my question is , can I have the homing switched back off more , so they are not on the brink of tripping , and thus not trip when there is a little more vibration.

   Thanks
