I'm currently putting together a plasma machine, and we're including a magnetic breakaway to protect the torch. Machine is run off a laptop running Mach3, using a USB Smoothstepper.
This is my first time including a magnetic breakaway. I originally thought to program it as an e-stop in the Mach3 Pins & Ports/Input signals. Or is there another common way to set up the breakaway? It is simply a Normally Closed switch that activates when the torch holder breaks off.
Appreciate any input.
