Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Servo hardware

Jeff,

This is not always the case. If a machine has encoders on the axes rather than
on the motors. There is no need to re-home and re-indicate as the machine
position has not been lost.

Sometimes the EStop is hit by accident. I did that once by leaning on the
EStop on my Pick and place machine while changing a feeder. It was a real pain
to scrap the job and start over.

Cheers,

Peter.
