Selecting an axis from the automatic mode
When having only one channel, if while in automatic mode, you set the switch in handwheel
mode and select an axis, when going to jog mode, it maintains the selected axis.
Individual handwheel
The CNC can have several individual handwheels, where each of them is associated with
a particular axis. The CNC moves each axis as its relevant handwheel is turned depending
on the setting of the selector switch and on the turning direction of the handwheel.
When moving several axes simultaneously using handwheels, all the axes having their own
handwheel plus the ones that may be selected with the general handwheel may be involved.
When moving several axes at the same time, the feedrate of each axis depends on how fast
its associated handwheel is turned.
Feed handwheel.
Usually, when machining a part for the first time, the feedrate is controlled by the switch on
the operator panel. The "feed handwheel" allows using one of the handwheels of the machine
to control that feedrate depending on how fast the handwheel is turned.
In handwheel mode, this symbol next to an axis indicates that the axis has an
individual handwheel associated with it.
It may happen that depending on the turning speed and the selector position, the CNC be demanded
a faster feedrate than the maximum allowed. In that case, the CNC will move the axis the indicated
distance but at the maximum feedrate allowed.
This feature must be managed from the PLC. Usually, this feature is turned on and off using an external
push button or key configured for that purpose.
