Handwheel feeding
In handwheel mode, rotate the handwheel to make the machine perform single-step or continuous motion.
Determine the feed by testing the handwheel signal of the handheld box. In handwheel mode, the feeding axis
and feeding unit are determined by the axis selection signal of the handheld box.
The handwheel feeding step is as follows:
⑴ Press the mode switch key [Handwheel/Single-step] to select handwheel operation;
⑵ Rotate the dip switch on the handwheel to select handhweel axis (X, Y, Z, A);
⑶ Rotate the increment dip switch on the handwheel to select the moving amount (0.1, 0.01, 0.001);
⑷ Rotate the handwheel to move the machine tool. The tool moves certain distance every time you rotate the
handwheel for a scale. (For example, if you select X axis in step ⑵ and select 0.01 in step ⑶, the tool moves
0.01mm every scale). Rotate the handle continuously to move the machine tool on this axis continuously.
) Note:
The handwheel feeding mode controls only one coordinate axis every time; the faster the handwheel rotates, the
faster the machine tool moves.
