General Mach Discussion / E-Stop: Latching or Momentary?
« on: May 01, 2015, 04:06:19 PM »
Hello all:
Absolutely new at this; am converting a G0484 Mill/Drill to CNC. Question that is bugging me now is: Does the E-Stop Switch have to be a Twist to Release, ie. Latching, or can it be a Momentary Pushbutton? Concern is that if Momentary does Mach3 reset the emergency stop function and go back to doing whatever it was doing before the OMG moment. Hope to hear from someone. Have searched for the answer but have not been able to find anything on this topic. Take care.
