Soft limits are not working all the time... was created by turbohoolik
My soft limits are not working all the time. Machine is running over them to hard limit switch. When I back off machine from hard limit switch soft limit will work until next startup.

Pictures of the machine and where the home switches are located?
Your min/max values seem random, any reason for that?

It's Bridgeport Series 1 CNC milling machine.
My home switches locations are randomly placed but min/max are measured home to hard limit switch and then backed a little.
My X and Y axes home switches are cheap China proximity switches but Z axis switch are good mechanical. Thought maybe they are not accurate but DRO will show that machine have run over soft limit and next time soft limit is working.

remember limit switches need to stay triggered to the end of travel.

Found my problem, the problem was me!
My soft limits were further away than hard limit switches. Why I was set it up like this, I have no idea...
Thank everybody for thinking with me!
