MC work mode 2. Operating in JOG mode
2.4 Jogging the axes
2.4.3 Jogging with an electronic handwheel
2.4.3 JOGGING WITH AN ELECTRONIC HANDWHEEL
This option means the machine movements can be governed by means of an electronic handwheel.
To do this the left-hand switch has to be located in one of the positions of the handwheel
The positions available are 1, 10 and 100, all of these indicating the multiplication factor applied to
the pulses provided by the electronic handwheel.
Example:
Position of the switch Movement per turn
1 0.100 mm or 0.0100 inches
10 1.000 mm or 0.1000 inches
100 10.000 mm or 1.0000 inches
The machine has an electronic handwheel
After selecting the position required on the switch, press one of the JOG keys for the axis which
is to be moved. The axis selected will be displayed in small characters next to the handwheel
symbol at the bottom of the screen.
If a FAGOR electronic handwheel with push button is available, the selection of the axis to be
moved can also be done in the following way:
Press the push button located on the rear of the handwheel. The CNC will select the first of
the axis and display this in highlighted text.
If the push button is pressed again the CNC will select the following axis, making this selection
on a rotative basis.
If the push button is held down for longer than 2 seconds, the CNC will stop selecting said
axis.
After selecting the axis the machine will move this as the handwheel is turned, also respecting
the turning direction applied to the same.
The machine has two or three electronic handwheels
The machine will move each of the axis according to how the corresponding handwheel is turned,
taking into account the position selected on the switch and also respecting the turning direction
applied.
Warning:
It may occur that depending on the turning speed of the handwheel and the
position of the switch, the CNC may be requested to make a movement with a
feedrate higher than the maximum allowed (“G00FEED” axis machine parameter).
The CNC will move the axis the amount required, but limit the feedrate to said
value.
