i see that the x axis on your machine is driven by a worm gear, over a 24t to a
16t gear to the gear rack on the bottom of the table. also, the z axis seems to
use an idler gear. that's exactly the setup i've built, you can see it here:

on top left, next to the tool changer idea (right next to the tiny word "tool").
i drew an 8t gear but i'm using a 24t now.

yes, check out this link:
http://lego.brandls.info/legtips.htm#Rotationssensor
scroll down a bit to see how to short-circuit the pole reverser with a looped
cable. this acts like a touch sensor that opens/closes 8 times in one rotation.
out of curiosity, how long is the axle for your y-axis worm beam? because i
guess your max axle length limits the length of your axis unless you build a
more advanced setup..
