Limit Switches to Interrupt Z-axis

Hi all. I’m working through an upgrade to a C-beam z-axis and I’m trying to figure out how to protect it from destroying itself if I goof up a z move in CAM one day. My first though is that I could use a shear pin or nylon set screw so that part fails first, but I’ve read that some people with this C-beam setup have a tough time getting the required grip on the lead screw with even a metal set screw. Limit switches have been talked about in a number of other posts, but the conversation seems t…

Maslow Electronics Wiring Diagram for Aux Outputs

I would see a need for following aux functions: Estop (we would probably not rely on the arduino, but have the estops connected to a relay that shuts power to router/spindle and maslow control board/motors I am a big advocate of something like: Spindle on/off (this has been implemented) Laser on/off (I would use this for laser X-hairs). For true lasercutter control we would want to implement spindle speed control so we can control laser power Spindle speed control - Most spindl…

Hope these help. I haven’t tried limit switches, but I remembered there were some previous conversations.
