Jogging Controls – The mill can be jogged with either the oponal Jog Shule shown in Figure 6.5
or with the keyboard (see Figure 6.6):
• The right arrow key jogs X-axis in the posive X direcon (moves table le of operator)
• The le arrow key jogs X-axis in the negave X direcon (moves table right of operator)
• The up arrow key jogs Y-axis in the posive Y direcon (moves table towards operator)
• The down arrow key jogs Y-axis in the negave Y direcon (moves table away from operator)
• The Page Up key jogs the Z-axis in the posive Z direcon (moves spindle up)
• The Page Down key moves the Z-axis in the negave Z direcon (moves spindle down)
NOTE: Jogging is not permied during G-code program execuon or during MDI moves.
The Jog Shule is an oponal accessory (see Figure 6.5) that may increase producvity, especially
on short-run jobs requiring extensive seng up of the workpiece and tooling.
The X, Y, Z and A buons are used to jog the X-, Y-, Z-, and A-axis, respecvely. The LED light beside
an axis DRO indicates which axis is selected for jogging (for more informaon, refer to Posion
Status Group secon earlier in this chapter). The Step buon cycles through the available jog step
sizes. The size that is acve is indicated by an illuminated LED (see Figure 6.4). Connuous jogging
is done with the Shule Ring by turning it counterclockwise (minus) and clockwise (plus). There are
seven speeds to posion any axis with speed and precision. Step jogging is done with the Jog Wheel
(with nger dimple) by turning it counterclockwise in the minus direcon and clockwise in the plus
direcon. The move will be made at the current feed rate.
