Jog settings

Within the jog settings menu, you can configure the jog speed limits while in jog mode. Below is a detailed
breakdown of each setting and the options available for each setting.
Setting Setting Action Action
Clockwise speed Configure the jog speed in a clockwise direction
Anticlockwise speedConfigure the jog speed in an anticlockwise direction
Set the timeout (in minutes) that the machine will keep the motor drive engaged,
before the motor drive is disabled. The load applied to the torque sensor must reach
at least 25% of the sensor capacity before the timeout activation is applied. At the
end of the timeout period, the 'Jog Active' menu screen is automatically switched
back to the 'Ready to Test' menu screen.
Jog timeout period
For example:
A VortexPro stand fitted with a 6 N.m torque sensor must reach 1.5 N.m in either
direction before the timeout activation is applied. Loads below the 25% limit will not
activate the timeout and the stand will actively hold the load applied.
