Execution in manual mode

3.1 General
Always use "JOG" mode when you want to set up the machine for the execution of a
program or to carry out simple traversing movements on the machine:
● Synchronize the measuring system of the controller with the machine (reference point
approach)
● Set up the machine, i.e. activate manually-controlled motions on the machine using the
keys and handwheels provided on the machine control panel.
● You can activate manually controlled motions on the machine using the keys and
handwheels provided on the machine control panel while a part program is interrupted.
3.2 Selecting a tool and spindle
3.2.1 T, S, M windows
For the preparatory actions in manual mode, tool selection and spindle control are both
performed centrally in a screen form.
In manual mode, you can select a tool either by its name or its location number. If you enter
a number, a search is performed for a name first, followed by a location number. This means
that if you enter "5", for example, and no tool with the name "5" exists, the tool is selected
from location number "5".
Note
Using the location number, you can thus swing around an empty space into the machining
position and then comfortably install a new tool.
