Move the joystick to move the linear axes X, Y and Z of the measuring machine. The controls on the Jogbox
may be used to:
Adjust the linear axis movement speed when they are controlled by the joystick, and enable or
disable manual movement of each axis (a disabled axis cannot be moved using the joystick). The
axis movement speed is indicated by the 10 LEDs on the upper part of the Jogbox keypad. Each
LED corresponds to a 10% speed increase.
Carry out the required operations to start the control system and resume after emergencies.
Carry out software-related functions, such as notifying relevant events which could occur during
part program running or teaching.
Joystick reactivity may be modified on the FDC function control panel by selecting the “Quadratic relation
jogbox” option. Joystick sensitivity is more adapted to small high-accuracy movements when the function is
on and reactivity is more suited to larger movements and faster speeds when it is off (see FDCPanel).
