Y-Axis Limit Switch A Y-axis limit switch is a sensor that detects the end of the travel range along the Y-axis, preventing mechanical collisions, misalignment, or layer shifting. It ensures accurate homing, positioning, and motion control. Common limit switches include mechanical, optical, or hall effect sensors. Advanced systems feature sensorless homing or magnetic encoders for high-precision detection. Proper installation, calibration, and firmware configuration ensure consistent layer placement, dimensional accuracy, and print reliability. Y-axis limit switches enhance safety, stability, and print quality, supporting complex geometries and high-speed movement. |
