Parts And Repairs - Limit Switches
December 04, 2013 09:01PM
I was wondering where to get parts for our HandiBots? In particular, I need a replacement limit switch. Ours arrived with the Y-limit switch cracked, and although it activates when finger-pressed, it does not activate when it is depressed by the chamfer in the Y-axis guide-rail.

I tried to find it on DigiKey and Mouser, looking for "Surface-Mount" and "Detector" type switches, but no luck so far. There are thousands of them, literally.

Perhaps someone could direct me to an actual parts list for the HandiBot, or give me the part number/manufacturer for the limit switches?

Thanks!

Hi Glenn,

Sorry to hear that your limit switch was damaged in shipping. That is a warranty issue and we can ship a replacement for you today. Please private message me and we will arrange the details.

Hi Glen,

I started using my handibot today and noticed same issue when using c3 function. It just keep going on Y.
I too found damaged Y axis prox. switch damaged.
For now I just swapped with Z axis one.
How do I get replacement?

Hi Bob,

PM me with your shipping address and we will get a switch coming your way. If you are able to take a picture of the switch and attach it to the PM, I'd like to see how the switch failed.

Thanks,

David
