Correct wiring of limit switches

[markcadcam]

Hi Marty,
I have attached pictures of my setup. Let me know if this gives you the idea of what I'm doing with the Homing and Limit switches.

Home built slant bed lathe cool.
Suggestion, move the tool post to the top (rear mounted) chips will fall away easier.
Lathe uses Z and X axis
Lathes normall home to the tailstock Z+ and away from spindle centerline X+
You only need one switch for home limit. Suggest you use Z+ and X+
Input 1 FirstAxisHomeLimitOK (Z)
Input 2 SecondAxisHomeLimitOK (X)
Motor axis 1=Z
Motor axis 2=X
Then set your travels in the soft limit entries in the Wizard.

Hope this helps.
Marty

I built this lathe 15 years ago and I decided to upgrade it to Acorn. I will take your advise. Thanks Marty.

I can see all the work and effort you put into it. Very nice. I can't wait to see it running on Centroid. I think you'll like it
