Loadcell Overview
The loadcell in Magneto X is critical for precise Z-probing by measuring nozzle pressure.
This loadcell converts pressure into voltage via an ADC conversion chip, determining when the probe is triggered through a set pressure threshold.
We’ve developed software for real-time loadcell data monitoring. Learn more on our wiki.
This software allows you to observe loadcell pressure changes in real-time, providing deeper insights and precise control.
