X-axis with carriage
Abb. 10a: X-Carriage
1 Y-bridge
2 linear guide
3 Ball screw
The figure shows the X-linear guide (Fig. 10a / 2) with
trapezoidal threaded spindle (Fig. 10a / 3) from one
side of the machine.
The second X-linear guide with trapezoid thread spindle
is positioned symmetrically on the other side of the
machine.
The two linear guides represent the X-axis, on which the
Y-bridge is moved (Fig. 10a / 1) along the X linear
guides.

1 Reference switch Y-axis
2 Magnetic contact
The reference switch (Fig. 10b / 1) responds to the
magnetic field of the incoming homing magnet (Fig. 10b
/ 2). If the magnet is close enough the reed sensor of
the switch turns on.
The reference switch operates as closing contact; in
switched state the signal circuit is closed.
HINT:
Reference switches are required for axes without absolute position
encoder to feature in the initialization of the axis by a known reference
point (zero point of the axis). From this position, all other positions are
then calculated relative to the process of the axis via software.
