All aspects of handle jogging for the fifth axis work as they do for the other axes. The exception is the method
of selecting jog between axis A and axis B . By default the ‘+A’ and ‘-A’ keys will select the A axis for jogging.
The display will show “JOGGING A AXIS HANDLE .01” while you are jogging the A axis. The B axis can be
selected by pressing the SHIFT key, and then either the ‘+A’ or ‘-A’ key. When this is done the control will
switch to jogging the B axis and the display will change to “JOGGING B AXIS HANDLE .01”.
The axis assigned to the ‘+A’ and ‘-A’ keys will remain selected for jogging even if the operating mode is
changed or if the machine is turned off. The selected axis for ‘+A’ and ‘-A’ can be toggled by pressing the
SHIFT key prior to pressing the ‘+A’ or ‘-A’ keys.
The JOG HANDLE is used in many different ways:
•
To jog one of the selected axes. Each step of the crank can be set to 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01 or 0.1 inch
(0.001, 0.01, 0.1, or 1.0 degree per step for a rotary axis). When using metric units, the smallest handle
step is 0.001 mm and the largest is 1.0 mm. The handle has 100 steps per rotation.
•
It can also be used to move the screen cursor while in the EDIT or the LIST PROG operating modes.
•
The HANDLE can be used as a screen cursor in the Offsets, Settings or Parameter displays.
•
It can be used to scroll through the HELP text, Decimal Chart and Parameters.
•
If Setting 104 JOG HANDL TO SNGL BLK is ON, you can single block step with the HANDLE through a
program with every click CCW when SINGLE BLOCK is selected and active. If you go CW with the handle,
it will feed hold.
•
The HANDLE can be used to change feed and spindle overrides by ±1% with the handle after you press
HANDLE CONTROL FEEDRATE/SPINDLE, if Setting 104 is OFF.
•
The Feed and Spindle Speed can be changed ±1% simultaneously with the HANDLE, after pressing the
HANDLE CONTROL FEEDRATE key, if Setting 144 is ON.
•
The Feed and Rapid can be changed ±1% simultaneously with the HANDLE, after pressing the HANDLE
CONTROL FEEDRATE key, if Setting 101 is ON.
