3. MANUAL OPERATION
139
In the jog mode, turning a feed axis and direction selection signal to “1”
on the machine operator’s panel continuously moves the tool along the
selected axis in the selected direction.
Usually, this continuous movement can be performed on only one axis at
a time. Setting bit 0 of parameter No. 1002 appropriately enables the
continuous movement to be performed on two axes of the Power Mate i–D
or three axes of the Power Mate i–H at a time. For Power Mate i–D
two–path control, however, the continuous movement can be performed
on only one axis on each path at a time.
In the incremental feed mode, turning a feed axis and direction selection
signal to “1” on the machine operator’s panel moves the tool one step
along the selected axis in the selected direction. The minimum distance
the tool is moved is the least input increment. Each step can be 10, 100,
or 1000 times the least input increment.
The jog feedrate is specified in a parameter (No.1423)
The jog feedrate can be adjusted with the jog feedrate override dial.
With the rapid traverse selection switch the tool can be moved at the rapid
traverse rate regardless of the jog feedrate override signal.
The following signals determine the way in which jog feed or step feed
is executed.
