PoKeys / PoKeys and Limit Switches
« on: March 16, 2014, 01:36:00 PM »
Hello,
If I bought PoKeys would there be a way to wire in another limit switch that always halted travel in my Z axis? I ask this question because I have a Novakon CNC with linear rails in the Z axis. When manually jogging I discovered it is possible to travel beyond the limit switch (my limit switches are proximity sensors not mechanical) and actually run the top slides off the linear rails, and in accidentally doing this I also managed to pull out my oil line. My proximity switches used for homing the machine do not stop/halt travel when manually jogging.
Thanks,
Whizbang
