Proximity switch aluminium bracket causing interference - squints - 01-23-2015 02:32 PM

Aluminium bracket has been interfering with our proximity switches.
Our theory was to use aluminium because it is not magnetic.
It seems we were wrong.
Replaced it with a hard plastic and now have a 1/4" more play.
The switch would open at about 1/4" away from the haul rope and now opens at about 1/2".
Quite the difference.
