    home switch for rotational axis

    How do I implement a home switch for a rotational axis (table)? How do they do it for 5-axis machines?

    Thanks

    just add a SHCS screw to the rotating table, that will hit a schwitch when turning...
    you can home then by running the table to the schwitch (always in the same direction) and then, when you got the signal, slowly run away from it again (reverse direction). The moment when you lose the signal again is "home (sweet home)"
