Re: Proximity Sensors and Mach3
|
I know the wiring can be confusing. Several years ago I came up with the LMTS-4I: (my website) to help solve this problem. You mount the box on your machine and run a single DB9 extension cable back to your control box. If you click the ‘Yes, please add DB9 pigtail’ check box you get a prewired DB9 for the controller end with 12” leads coming off of it. You wire up the 4 leads to the G540 input and the tow power leads to your sensor power supply. ? You want to use this type of sensor: (my website). If you buy both the LMTS-4I and sensors from me, I’ll crimp the connector on the sensors for you so they will just plug into the LMTS-4I (it takes a special crimper). The3 sensors require 10-30VDC and I have a suitable power supply here: .
I know I don’t have Alibaba prices, but you get good stuff that works ? ? Jeff Birt Soigeneris.com ?

Subject: Re: [MachCNC] Proximity Sensors and Mach3 ? Thank You for that analogy as I can at least understand it in the basic sense. I am terrified of the idea that any screw up on my part will render a $500 CNC Controller useless. I've been asked numerous times why I even bother with this whole idea of running Home Switches when Soft Limits will do exactly what it is that I am looking for without any of these issues. The problem with that way of thinking is that I have yet to see anyone explain the proper way of setting up Safe Z. If a person like myself could grasp the concept without prejudice from others I would definitely go in that direction.
