CNC LIMIT SWITCHES

All Techno servo driven machines come standard with limit switch technology. All axes on the machine include homing switches and over-travel switches. The homing switch is a reference point for the machine to know where it is at all times. This is essential for tool changer machines since tool locations are taught and stored into the control system automatically. These switches also utilize a restart technology sequence in the event that the machine is stopped or requires a program jump ahead. This allows the operator to start the machine in the middle of a job.

Over-travel switches are used for safe keeping of the machine mechanics. If something were to cause one of these switches to be engaged, a fail-safe shutdown mode would be activated, preventing any damage to the machine mechanics.
