stop switches X and Y not working

[mikechung]

Hi
I have 2 mechanical switches working on my lathe and these work fine for home positions.

I have noticed while the lathe is in operation if you manually trip the switches or while in operation they do not stop the lathe.

How can I correct this?

Thanks

Looking at your report. The switches are set as home switches, not limit switches.
They must be set as limit switches to stop motion....

You can leave those switches as is, and setup soft limits.

As an alternative to changing your existing soft limits and assuming you have separate inputs for the Z and X switches, you could use HomeLimit for 1st and 2nd axes.

Can one switch be both designated as home and limits? I have a similar post about my switch situation and how I tried to solve. My problem is that the wizard undoes my fix. See my post on "Home all Limit all".

yes, the selection is in the wizard to define an input as both axis 1 home and limit.
