Manually moving the axes is accomplished by pressing the mode button labeled HANDLE JOG and then by
using the JOG keys or the Handle to move the axis. Both the JOG buttons and the Handle are enabled simulta-
neously without needing to select between them. The display is changed to the Position Display and the
currently selected axis for jogging will blink.
Jog feedrate or handle resolution is selected by the four keys to the right of the HANDLE JOG key. Jog feeds
from 0.1 inch per minute to 100 inches per minute or handle divisions from 0.0001 inch to 0.1 inch are select-
able. Auxiliary axes can be manually jogged from the front panel.
During jogging, the FEEDRATE override buttons will adjust the rates selected from the keypad. This allows for
very fine control of the jog speed. It does not change the handle step size.
In the center of the jog buttons is a key labeled JOG LOCK. This key will cause the axis you are jogging to
continue jogging even after you release the key. Press this key and then press the selected axis motion key to
start. Motion will stop as soon as the JOG LOCK button is pressed again, or RESET is pressed.
NOTE:
Selecting another axis will cause that axis to move.
This feature is handy, for example, when you are slow milling the soft jaws of a vise.
In order to select another axis for jogging while using the handle, use ±
X
,
Y
,
Z
, or
A
buttons. When one of these
buttons is pressed, that axis is selected for HANDLE JOG but does not move unless the button is held down for
more than ½ second. After ½ second, that axis is moved in the selected direction and at the selected feedrate.
