What wire do you put the emergency stop button on to only stop the spindle?
Why would you want to do that? Wouldn’t it just continue feeding into the part, except with the spindle off if you ever had to hit it?
I will say back when I had the stock limit switches that I didn’t trust, it would have been nice if you weren’t forced to home after an e-stop. But this just seems like a recipe for disaster.
I am keeping the global e stop as well. Want a way to hard stop the spindle rather than relying on cut control. If anyone has figured out a way to stop all movement without a re-homing, that is even more preferred.
The Emergency stop button turns off two contactors in this gray box. It kills the control box power and the spindle. But not the computer or the control board. One contactor is a 50-amp single-phase 240, and the other is a 30-amp for the 120V circuit.
This way, you never lose your coordinates in the CutControl program. It has work great for years now.
Interesting, Thanks Big Daddy
