(Note 1)
The override value set by using the CUTTING FEED OVERRIDE switch is not effective for the
rapid traverse feedrate; when the override value is 0%, the controlled axis does not move.
Using the MODE SELECT switch,
select the rapid traverse feed mode.
Using the RAPID TRAVERSE
OVERRIDE switch, set any desired
override value.
To move the controlled axis, turn on the
FEED AXIS SELECT switch. The
controlled axis is moved while the
switch is turned on.
When the switch is turned off, the
controlled axis stops with deceleration.
