General Mach Discussion / Re: limit switch accuracy

Hi Doc,
Good question - bit like asking "how long is a piece of string ?"
I suppose it all depends on how much you want to pay and the level of accuracy that you need.
I use ordinary Honeywell Microswitches but Baumer Electric produce a superior range and their mechanical push switches, in the My-Com range, have a repeat accuracy of better than 0.001 mm (constructed a bit like a touch probe).
Tweakie.
