5.2.3 Jogging the axes with handwheels
Electronic handwheels may be used to move the axes. Depending on the type of handwheel,
The CNC may have general handwheels to move any axis or individual handwheels that will
only move their associated axes.
To move the axes with the handwheels, turn the jog selector switch of the operator panel to
one of the handwheel positions. Every position indicates the multiplying factor applied to the
handwheel pulses; the typical values are the following.
Once the desired resolution has been selected and depending on the type of handwheel
being used, general or individual, proceed as follows.
General handwheel
The CNC may have several general handwheels. The general handwheel is not associated
with any axis in particular, it may be used to move any axis of the machine even if it has an
individual handwheel associated with it.
• If there are several axes selected in handwheel mode, the general handwheel will move
all of them.
• If an axis has been selected which has an individual handwheel selected with it, this axis
may be moved with the general handwheel, with the individual one or with both at the
same time. When using both handwheels simultaneously, the CNC will add or subtract
the pulses provided by both handwheels depending on which direction they are turned.
• If the CNC has several general handwheels, any of them can move the axes selected
in handwheel mode. When using several handwheels simultaneously, each axis involved
will be applied the sum of the increments of all the handwheels.
These are the steps to follow for moving one or several axes with the general handwheel.
1 Select the axis or axes to be jogged. The CNC will highlight the selected axes. When
selecting an axis or quitting the handwheel mode using the movement selector, the
previous one is automatically deselected.
2 Once the axis has been selected, the CNC will move it as the handwheel is turned
depending on the setting of the selector switch and on the turning direction of the
handwheel.
The feedrate depends on how fast the handwheel is turned.
Selecting the axes to be jogged
There are two ways to select the axes.
1 On the JOG keyboard, press one of the keys for the axis to be jogged. Selecting an axis
de-selects the previous one. To select several axes, press one of the keys of each key
at the same time.
An axis needs not belong to the active channel in order to be selected. An axis from one
channel may be set in handwheel mode from another channel, if the channel of the axis
is also in jog mode.
2 When using a handwheel with a push-button, the push-button may be used to select,
sequentially, the axes to be jogged. Pushing the button selects the first one of the axes
being displayed. If an axis has already been selected, it de-selects it and selects the next
one. If it was the last one, it selects the first one again.
Only the axes being displayed in the active channel may be selected, regardless of the
channel they belong to. The axes of another channel cannot be selected if they are not
being displayed.
An axis is de-selected when quitting the handwheel mode using the movement selector and
after a reset. If an axis has been set in handwheel mode from the PLC, it can only be
deactivated from the PLC; a reset does not deactivate it.
Position. Movement per revolution of the handwheel.
1 0.100 mm or 0.0100 inches.
10 1.000 mm or 0.1000 inches.
100 10.000 mm or 1.0000 inches.
