5.3. Moving/traversing axes
This is how to traverse the axes with the control panel:
Switch on the axial control
Activate the required axes: Press the keys for the axes
which you want to traverse ("X", "Y", "Z" or "C").
If an axis is activated, the LED at the top right of the appropriate pushbutton
lights up.
NOTE !
Up to three axes can be simultaneously activated, including either the Z-
axis or the C-axis, but not both at the same time. If you switch on a fourth
axis (the C-axis) then the Z-axis will be automatically deactivated. If the C-
axis is activated and the Z-axis is switched on, the C-axis is then
automatically deactivated.
NOTE !
If you do not move the joystick for 30 seconds, the axial control is
automatically switched off for safety reasons. In order to traverse the axes,
the axial control must first be restarted.
This is how to control the axis with the joystick:
Traversing X-axis: Deflect joystick to the left/right or forward/reverse
(depending on the measuring machine system).
Traversing Y-axis: Deflect joystick to the left/right or forward/reverse
(depending on the measuring machine system).
Traversing Z-axis: Turn joystick.
o
If you turn the joystick clockwise, the axis is moved in a negative Z-
direction (downwards).
o
If you turn the joystick anti-clockwise, the axis is moved in a positive Z-
direction (upwards).
