Re: Using mechanical and ZRI/Proximity switches for homing a lathe
I realize that it will work with the dyn4. My question is whether it can work if only one axis has the ZRI output. The other 3 axis do not have it. Also, those three axis limits are wired in series in a home all format. Just wondering if I can add the 4th limit in series and only find the Zri on the 4th axis.

Yes, you can use it on a single axis without the other three but it would require a custom homing program for the ZRI input.

Sweet! Thank yoi. I have a custom homing program on my Lathe for ZRI so I think I can figure it out. Thanks for your input Shawn.
