Handwheel
8.1 Selecting the function "Handwheel"
You can traverse the axes in the machine coordinate system (MCS) or in
the workpiece coordinate system (WCS) via the handwheel.
All axes are provided in the following order for handwheel assignment:
Geometry axes (X, Y, Z)
Channel machine axes (X1, Y1, Z1, C1)
By pressing the HSK 2.6 "Handwheel" in the ex-
tended horizontal softkey bar the following input
mask will be shown on the screen.
An input field for the assignment of the axes is offered for every handwheel
on the machine. The axis-assignment can be made like described in the
module B518 - "Basic operations". Besides there is the possibility to assign
an axis directly to a handwheel using the corresponding softkey on the ver-
tical softkey bar.
8.2 Vertical softkey bar (VSK)
The number of softkeys for the axis assignment is limited. For the assign-
ment of all other axes refer to the module B518 - "Basic operations", Sec-
tion 3.2 "Parameter selection". Generally you can switch through all avail-
able axes by repeatedly pressing the blue "SELECT"-key on the key-
board.
