General Mach Discussion / Re: What would cause my limit switches to trip?
« on: November 17, 2012, 10:59:12 PM »
Thanks for that reply fastest1;
I infact do have all the ground wires going to one point (bolt) including the shields from all my limit switches. The negative (-) of my power supply does not go to this ground, because I thought this may cause problems. I checked the "debounce" setting on Mach3, and both are set to "0" . I am a member of CNC zone, but the info you gave me here seems to address a lot of my issues. I will try some of the tips you gave me this week with the help from a friend. I will get him to trigger the TIG welder as I make changes to my mill, and hopefully this will get rid of faults when the machine runs during a program.
Thanks for your help !! It is greatly appreciated.
