What is the purpose of a limit switch?
Limit switches serve a diverse range of functions across various applications.
In machine tools, they ensure precise operations by detecting the position of workpieces.
Similarly, in automatic doors and elevators, they guarantee safety by halting movement when detecting the correct positions.
Vending machines utilize them to accurately dispense items by detecting their positions.
Conveyor belt systems rely on limit switches to trigger actions upon the arrival of items at specific points along the belt.
