[Emc-users] Prox sensors and wiring

2021-11-06 Thread Roland Jollivet
I think the problem with proxies is that any chips in the probe path is going to affect this distance, quite lilely flood coolant situations. The mechanical switches on CNC machines however, have a slope on the switch and are really difficult to press in with your finger. This makes sure that any

Hi Andy, I have a box of those connectors in a 6 wide and will get a box of 1 wide and two wide. My thoughts are when used outside in a marine environment to glop some 3M Scotchcoat on them. Of course that make them rather fixed but they are cheap. :-) Dave On 11/4/21 1:44 AM, andy pugh

Or from the servo drive suppliers. In China you can get good quality aviation connectors for like 7usd. That's what I use and I buy cable from them to. I have a guy that buys it all up for me and ships from one place. On Thu, 4 Nov 2021, 21:20 Chris Albertson, wrote: > I bought some of the

I bought some of the proximity detectors for my 3D printer to measure the bed.I tested them on my mill by moving them untillthey tripped, backing off and doing it again to see how repeatable they are.Even the cheap no-=brand unit where as good as my ability to measure them. Set up a test

I have finally started stripping out the control cabinet on my cnc mill in preparation for my retrofit. The brushed servos and mechanical limit and home switches were wired up with crimped "bullet" quick connect pins. I'm replacing the servos with brushless servos, and am considering
