Working in the manual mode

5.1

Overview

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.

Selecting a tool and spindle

5.2.1

T,S,M window

For the preparatory actions in manual mode, tool selection and spindle control are both
performed centrally in a screen form.
In addition to the main spindle (S1), there is another tool spindle (S2) for powered tools.
Your turning machine can also be equipped with a counter-spindle (S3).
In manual mode, you can select a tool on the basis of either its name or its revolver 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 revolver location number, you can also swing around an empty space into the
machining position and then comfortably install a new tool.
