    Very helpful. I like the idea of a micro-switch since this device operates under harsh conditions and a photo sensor may get dirty. Any idea who supplies the kit necessary to get this done? Thanks Mark

    Motion control for a rotating a cylinder

    Thank's for your reply. It has to be very accurate. I was thinking the momentum would be relatively constant (6o:1) reduction ratio. Therefore my thoughts would be an adjustible sensor which stops the cycle perhaps a degree or two before 360 degrees. This should allow for the (X) degrees of...

I want to control the rotation of a horizontal cylinder so it rotates 360 degrees, returning to the same start/stop position each cycle. The cylinder is being driven by a 1hp 110v electric motor, at a rate...
