SECTION TWO - FRONT PANEL OPERATION

F2 (JOG) Main-Jog

The machine must be homed prior to jogging.

F2 (Jog) is used to move the machine around in a manual mode to pick up zeros and align parts.

Upon pressing F2 (Jog) the following screen appears.

Note: F5 and F6 can be changed to store the positions in the G92 floating zero offset.

The function keys across the bottom of the screen select the desired jogging mode. The F1

(Slow) key selects slow jog. The feed override is active and speeds up or slows down the jog

speed. The F2 (Fast) key selects rapid jog. The machine tool builder determines the slow and

rapid feedrates and has the ability to change the values for each in the axis parameters. The F3

(↔) key selects the continuous jog mode. The jog defaults to continuous each time F3 (↔) is

depressed. In continuous jog, the selected axis continues moving until the user releases the axis

key or encounters the software limits. In incremental jog, the axis moves the selected increment

and then stops each time the user presses and releases an axis key. After the operator presses the

F4 (Dist) key, the control prompts the user to enter the desired amount of increment. The

keyboard diagram displays the direction in which an axis moves when the corresponding key on

the numeric keypad is pressed. To exit the incremental jog mode, the user depresses F3 (↔).

Depending upon the value of the miscellaneous parameter “use FLZ instead of G54", the F5 and

F6 keys perform either a G54 or a G92 for X or Y at the current machine position. This can be

thought of as call this position "##.####". The F7 key is used to set tool lengths; the operator is

prompted for the Z-axis position. If the user desires to leave the jog mode, pushing the ESC

(Exit) key exits the jog mode and returns the control to the main screen.
