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 replacing the mechanical switches with inductive prox sensors (pnp, nc type). All the old wires are sticky with coolant and metal chips.
So, I am interested to hear what other lcnc retrofitters have found works well for modest priced coolant proof connectors (3 or 4 pin), and opinions on cheap Chinese prox sensors (since the name brand ones are so expensive, even on ebay). An example is: https://www.ebay.com/itm/US-5Pcs-NC-PNP-LJ18A3-8-Z-AY-Inductive-Proximity-Sensor-Switch-DC6V-36V-/143861840692 Photos (rather unorganized) of the retrofit are at: https://photos.app.goo.gl/yBSRVf3QAVUK39PC7 Thanks, -- Ralph _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
