Traverse Axes By A Defined Increment - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Operating Manual

3.3.1

Traverse axes by a defined increment

You can traverse the axes in manual mode via the Increment and Axis keys or handwheels.
Procedure
Note
When the controller is switched on, the axes can be traversed right up to the limits of the
machine as the reference points have not yet been approached and the axes referenced.
Emergency limit switches might be triggered as a result.
The software limit switches and the working area limitation are not yet operative!
The feed enable signal must be set.
