General Mach Discussion / Re: Slowdown limit
« on: May 08, 2011, 02:04:05 AM »
On the series 1 cnc if you overun the upper Z limit switch you can lock up the quill and damage the screw.
Best to use the slow down switch to tell mach to slow to 50% of the home speed as it trips the switch.
You would set up the input to mach and use a macro or brain to monitor the switch value. Then thru the macro/brain tell mach to slow down.
I have an old macro here somwhere I will look it up for you if needed.
Just a thought, (;-) TP
