PathPilot Interface
Tormach mills can be jogged with either the Jog Shule shown in Figure 6.5 or with the keyboard’s
arrow keys (see Figure 6.6):
• The right arrow jogs X-axis in the posive X direcon (moves table le of operator)
• The le arrow jogs X-axis in the negave X direcon (moves table right of operator)
• The up arrow jogs Y-axis in the posive Y direcon (moves table toward 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 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 axes X, Y, Z and A respecvely (the LED light beside an axis
DRO in the PathPilot interface indicates which axis is selected for jogging). The Step buon cycles
through the available jog step sizes (the LED on a Step Size Buon in the PathPilot interface indicates
which size is acve). 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.
