Program tracking
The Tracking feature allows you to slowly run the program by using
the handwheel to control the feed. The feed is proportional to the
speed at which the handwheel is turned.
The Tracking feature only affects feed moves. Rapid moves are not
controlled by the handwheel and will run at normal speed.
Tracking is controlled by either the X or Z handwheel. Only forward
progress is possible and only by turning the handwheel in the
positive (CW) direction.
Tracking is disabled at the end of the program or if Move Tool is
activated.
Using the Tracking feature:
While the program is running, press STOP to pause
Press the Tracking soft key
Press GO to resume running the program in Tracking mode
Use the handwheel to control forward progress of the program
To disable Tracking mode and return to normal program run:
Press STOP to pause the program
Press the Tracking soft key to exit Tracking mode
Press GO to resume running the program in normal mode.
