I am trying to figure out where to put the limit/home target on the Z axis of my lathe. The saddle can get all the way to the headstock if I am using the collet chuck, though it doesn't need to. If I put on a face-plate then the carriage will eventually hit that. The same is true for each of the chucks. In different places. I can't figure out a way to have useful soft _or_ hard limits, or a way to guarantee that the carriage is parked the right side of the home switch.
I do have an idea of a way to make the z-axis have absolute feedback. This is looking like a good plan for homing but doesn't really help with limits. I need an rfid tag in each chuck to change the soft limits on the fly, clearly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Find and fix application performance issues faster with Applications Manager Applications Manager provides deep performance insights into multiple tiers of your business applications.
