I'm testing (on the x-axis) a proximity switch sensor SN04 Inductive Proximity Switch Sensor NPN NC and using my WMPG-4 to jog towards the sensor.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3287902 ... 4c4dz83EHe
I have clearpath SDSK motors on router
When I jog slowly at 1x, it seems to stop at the same position, no problem.
When I jog at 10x, it overshoots and hits the sensor.
Isn't it suppose to do a dead stop at the same position, at any speed?
Any settings on the Acorn or clearpath servo I need to adjust?
Thanks,
Paul

Re: Question on using proximity sensors as limit switch
There will always be a certain amount of drive by, and as you have seen, more at higher speeds.
What you may be missing is the the sensor needs to be mounted 90* from it's current position so that the axis can drive by the sensor. Not run into it's end

It make sense now, I will mount them 90°.
