Switch Box Controls
POWER ON:
Press and hold in for about 1 second to reset the
machine from a hardware E-stop (including at first power on). The
switch will light up blue to indicate the machine is out of hardware E-
stop.
SPINDLE:
Use to turn the spindle on and off (in the forward or
reverse direction, depending on the gear selected). The spindle can
only be run if the table guards are closed. For KMX 2000 and SLV, the
control must be in a spindle enabled mode (DRO, RUN etc.) and the
spindle will turn off automatically, at the end of a programme run.
KNEE
: Use to raise or lower the knee using the power knee feed (SLV
only). The table guards must be closed to operate the power knee
DRAWBAR
: Use to clamp and unclamp tools using the optional, air
powered drawbar.

On/Off switch:
This switch turns the pendant on and off. It does not affect the electrical cabinet

These are USB ports used for external keyboards or memory sticks for programme I/O
(and software updates). DO NOT plug anything else into these ports
(e.g moble ‘phones).
