Description
3D Printer Optical Endstop Mechanical Limit Switch Module For RepRap RAMPS 1.4 package contains of a limit switch, which is used to detect the end of head print motion for preventing touch the heat bed. Endstops switch or limit switches are applied on each moving axis of a 3D printer. Thus end-stop switch provides a reference system for the axis system and safety for 3D printers and CNC machines. After powering on the 3D printer and CNC machine, the controller unite don't know that its axis is at which position. The end-stop switches can detect the offset point for the controller unit. Also, this switch is a limiter, that can prevent the out of limit motion to protect the system from physical damage due to incidence.
This module is a Touch Tact Switch and acts based on lever switch, that is a reliable and easy to install bur easy to wear switch. This touching switch is specialized for the 3D Printer RepRap RAMPS 1.4, but it can be utilized for any type of 3D printer and CNC machine. This switch is wired up like audio connector of the old CD ROMs and pulls the signal to Low while activated. This board is equipped with an LED indicator that shows the activated status of the switch.
