    Optical sensor...

    Do somebody know a parts number and schematic for an optical sensor. I want to install it to a small wood lathe and use the index or timing pulse input on Mach1(Don't know wich one to choose). With that input i will be able to cut thread on the lathe.

    Any input greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Alex
