4.2 General functions and displays
Function
Using the "Handwheel" function, you can assign an axis to the
handwheels and activate them.
Operating sequence
"Jog" mode is selected in the "Machine" operating area.
The "Handwheel" window appears on the screen.
Position the cursor on the handwheel of your choice (1-3).
An axis identifier is suggested in the "Axis" field. You can select all the
other axes by means of the "Toggle key". The settings are accepted
immediately and an axis is assigned to each handwheel (1-3).
Each time you press the "Toggle button" on the "Active" field you
activate or deactivate enabling of the handwheel in question. The
settings become active immediately.
When you turn the handwheel, the assigned axis traverses by the
number of increments that have been set for it (Inc keys).
Machine manufacturer
The machine-tool manufacturer is responsible for the design of
handwheels. Operation may therefore differ from the explanation
above.
