Hi!
Not much real experience of running a CNC machine here I’ve just been reading and building the thing for some time now.
So, got some questions about homing.
A. How and when do i set that zeropoint for all axes (home)?
B. There’s an expression “homing on index”. What’s index and how does that work?
I guess “index” gives the signal to the motion controller to home all axes but what is it?
C. I will be running CSMIO IP-M with hybrid servo drivers.
It seems I can use this homing on index function with these drivers, correct?
D. Does a closed loop system need homing switches?
Cant see why but still, i might have missed something.
E. Thinking about hall sensors for limit switches.
Can anybody point something out?
Thanks, JW
