Using software travel limits
A software travel limit (also called a software overtravel) is a position on the axis that can be reached before the system
contacts a hardware limit switch or hard stop. The drawing below shows measurements from an example system with a
gantry that has 154 inches (3912 mm) of travel on the Transverse axis between the overtravel switches.
 The gantry travel distance of 154 inches (3912 mm) also equals the Table Size X dimension on the Machine Setups
screen (Setups > Password > Machine Setups).
