help needed on rotary indexer's resume and pause button

[excelguy7]

This is for a Mach 3 and i am trying to add some buttons to the machine. Any experts here that can share tips in
wiring up the resume and pause buttons? thanks guys!

There is a substantial lag between button smashing and machine pausing. This is one of the many and huge differences in controller levels. Mach can do the positioning, clamping, and drilling, with coolant too. You can go and add another axis and have the drill make the hole without manual feeding. Basically a robot work. Hope this makes sense.

it's really helpful and totally makes sense, no idea Mach could manage all of that. Appreciate you taking the time to explain it
