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

Note
You can use this function to position the spindle at a specific angle, e.g. during a tool change.
● A stationary spindle is positioned via the shortest possible route.
● A rotating spindle is positioned as it continues to turn in the same direction.

Traversing axes

You can traverse the axes in manual mode via the Increment or Axis keys or handwheels.
During a traverse initiated from the keyboard, the selected axis moves at the programmed
setup feedrate. During an incremental traverse, the selected axis traverses a specified
increment.
Set the default feedrate
Specify the feedrate to be used for axis traversal in the set-up, in the "Settings for Manual
Operation" window.

3. Enter the desired spindle stop position.
The spindle position is specified in degrees.
4. Press the <CYCLE START> key.
The spindle is moved to the desired position.
1. Select the "Machine" operating area.
2. Press the <JOG> key.
3. Press keys 1, 10, etc. up to 10000 in order to move the axis in a defined
increment.
The numbers on the keys indicate the traverse path in micrometers or
microinches.
Example: Press the "100" button for a desired increment of 100 μm (=
0.1 mm).
