A limit switch is an electromechanical device that detects the presence or position of an object. Typically, they are used to control machinery as part of a safety interlock or to count objects passing a point. They consist of an actuator mechanically linked to a set of electrical contacts. When an object comes into contact with the actuator, the switch operates, changing the state of the electrical contacts. Limit switches are commonly used in industrial applications, robotics, and CNC machines.
