The Manual Control Group’s buons and slider allow the operator to perform tasks related to
manual control of the mill, including jogging the mill axes, changing the current tool number, feed
rate, or spindle speed, and starng or stopping the spindle (see Figure 4.2).
Jogging Controls
Tormach mills can be jogged with either the Jog
Shule (PN 30616) shown in Figure 4.4 or by using
the keyboard’s arrow keys (see Figure 4.3):
• The right arrow jogs X-axis in the posive X
direcon (table moves le of operator).
• The le arrow jogs X-axis in the negave X
direcon (table moves right of operator).
• The up arrow jogs Y-axis in the posive Y
direcon (moves table towards operator).
• The down arrow 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 MDI moves.
