I'm building a small panel saw set up using a ball screw powered by an AC 120 volt reversible gear motor. I'd like to run a circuit that has the following.
1. a start button that powers the motor to travel about 32"
2. then tripping a (micro?) switch that stops the travel,
3. and then reverses the motor to return to its starting point and stopping.
4. in a ready state to begin again upon pushing the start button.
I have a basic working knowledge of AC circuits with simple switches. I have no idea what type of switches and or controls, or how to wire the circuit to accomplish what I need.
Any help, suggestions, or redirection would be greater appreciated. If possible a simple drawing of the needed circuit would be extremely helpful.
Thank you,
Jeff
