Morning chaps,

all being well I will be setting the machine up in its new workstation this evening and installing the licensed software from Planet CNC. When I was messing around with the jog I noticed I am able to make the machine go to the edge of the bad and make contact on the axis, what I mean is that the motor is trying to keep moving the axis but as the axis is not able to move any more is wont go and doesn't sound nice at all. Is there a way to setup some sort of parameter within the software so that it knows the limit of travel, basically ther machine will stop movement once it gets close to making contact with another part of the machine that is preventing from moving any further? I have seen limit switches but was wondering if there is anything else besides these as im not too sure how to install them. Any help would be great
