    Proximity sensors seem like the option i will choose.
    Is there anything special i need to now about using them?
    You have mentioned that you will be using the CSMIO IP-M controller. This controller is using the industry standard 24V inputs and you can use either PNP or NPN sensors, the 10-30V type.

    If you put the sensor on the moving part and have two metal triggers on each end of the axis you will actually need only 3 sensors, one for each axis. And yes, the sensors can be used as both home and limits.
    For security reasons it is advisable to also have limit switches that will cut power to the machine before reaching the end of axis travel.
