2.2 Manual Machine Positioning
Jog Mode Moves
You can make or change jog moves when the CNC is in Manual Data
Input Mode, Teach Mode, or in the Tool Page; and the servos are on.
Changing the Jog Mode
Jog move modes, with the exception of Jog Rapid Mode, are
performed at the currently active feedrate. The CNC displays the
active Jog Mode in the Machine Status Display Area. See "Axis Jog
keys" on page 274.
In Manual Data Input Mode, Press the JOG key to select a jog feed
rate.
Pressing the JOG key continually cycles through the modes listed
above.
Incremental Moves
To make a jog increment move, press the JOG key to select a
Jog 100, Jog 10, or Jog 1 mode.
Press the Axis +/- keys for the desired axis to step the axis in the
corresponding direction at the designated resolution.
Continuous Moves
To manually position the machine using continuous movement,
press the JOG key to select either the Rapid or Feed Jog Modes.
Press the Axis +/- keys for the desired axis to move the axis in the
corresponding direction at the currently active feedrate (Feed Mode)
or at the machine rapid rate (Rapid Mode).
Jog Mode Description
Rapid Default rapid speed for continuous jogs. Actual
speed determined at machine setup.
Feed Continuous jog at feedrate determined at machine
setup.
Jog: 100 Conventional Jog Mode, increment set to 100 times
machine resolution.
Jog: 10 Conventional Jog Mode, increment set to 10 times
machine resolution.
Jog: 1 Conventional Jog Mode, increment set to actual
machine resolution.
