Two limit switch control uses two sensors to manage a simple, on/off cycle by marking the start and end points of motion. In a crimping operation, the ram must move to a precise depth to form the crimp and then retract safely. One limit switch is placed at the ready/home position to start the cycle, energizing the drive. A second switch sits at the bottom of the stroke to detect full compression and stop the motion (and often trigger retraction or the next step). This arrangement gives a reliable, repeatable sequence with simple wiring, which is why the crimping machine is the typical example used to illustrate two-limit-switch control. Other machines can use limit switches too, but the crimping setup cleanly shows the start-and-end sequencing on a single, repeatable stroke.
