Re: Limit Sensors for Lift

We have used encoders in the past to find where our arm in, for a number of reasons, and have had great success. We attach a second rope to the arm, and as it goes up it pulls the rope around the encoder. The way that we have reset the encoder is with a magnetic proximity switch. When the are comes all of the way down, it pulls up the switch and triggers the reset command in the programming.

hopes that helps
