Enter the desired increment size in the "Variables increment"
input field.
For an increment of 500 µm
Example:
(= 0.5 mm), enter 500.
Press the "Inc Var" key.
The axes are traversed by the specified increments.
Enter a feedrate in the "Setup feedrate" field.
The axes are traversed in setup mode at the specified feedrate.
A limitation for the maximum feed velocity is programmed in a
machine data.
Select the axis to be traversed.
Press the "+" or "-" key.
Each time you press the key the selected axis is traversed by the set
increment.
Feedrate and rapid traverse override switches can be operative.
Depending on the PLC program, you may be able to select more than
one axis at a time.
• When the control is switched on axes can be traversed to the limits
of the machine because they have not yet been 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.
Please note the machine manufacturer's instructions with regard to
the selection and mode of operation of handwheels.
