Milling (top) and turning (bottom) machine control panels
NC operation mode selection (1)
These 3 keys allow selection of the current NC operation mode. The <Man‐
ual> key to the left selects manual mode, and the key in the middle<MDI>
selects manual data input mode. The <Auto> key to the right selects auto‐
matic mode for processing NC programs.
NC reset (2)
The reset key deletes existing errors and triggers the Home position in all NC
channels. The <Reset> key also stops rotating spindle drives.
NC start / stop (3)
The green key to the left <NC Start> starts the NC in order to start selected
programs in automatic mode, to cancel an NC stop, and to process the NC
blocks selected in MDI mode. If it is ready for start, the start key flashes; if an
NC program or block is processed, the light is on permanently. The red key to
the right <NC Stop> stops processing of running NC programs or NC blocks.
In case of an NC stop, the key light is on permanently.
Spindle override (4)
The "spindle override" switch or the "spindle override keys" (on turning ma‐
chine panels only) affect the spindle speed in all operation modes. The over‐
ride can be set within a range from 45% to 120%. The central key is used to
set the override to 100%.
Feed override (5)
The "Feed override" switch has several functions. It allows setting the over‐
ride for feed and rapid traverse in all operation modes and selecting the step
size for jog mode and handwheel in manual mode.
Handwheel (6)
The integrated handwheel (on turning machine panels only) is used in man‐
ual mode. This requires that handwheel mode be selected with the <HandW>
M-key on the Manual screen. Then the axis to be moved can be selected with
the axis selector switch to the left of the handwheel.
USB port (7)
The USB port can be used to exchange data via USB flash drives. NC pro‐
grams can be copied and data backups can be generated. This port is not
suitable for large USB hard disks and keyboards, mice, etc. After connection
of the USB flash drive, the "/usb" directory is available.
The USB flash drive should contain only a limited number of files
and folders. Otherwise, there may be delays during use of the
USB port.
