4.6 Handle feed mode
The controlled axis can be moved by turning the manual handle.
The travel distance per graduation of the handle depends on how the HANDLE/INCREMENTAL
MAGNIFICATION switch is set.
The axis that can be moved by using the manual handle is determined by setting the HANDLE
FEED AXIS SELECT switch.
(Note 1)
For 3-axis handle feed specifications, the three handles are controlled corresponding to
the respective X, Y and Z axes. Changeover to 4-axis specifications by selecting the
handle for the Z axis.

(Note 1)
When the handle magnification is high and
the handle is turned quickly, the
corresponding axis is clamped by the rapid
traverse rate for safety reasons. In this case,
the feed amount exceeding the clamp is
discarded, so a fraction unrelated to the
handle magnification is caused.
(Note 2)
The handle feed time constant is the "G1
time constant".
