3.2 JOG FEED (JOG)
In the jog mode, pressing a feed axis and direction selection switch on
the
machine operator's panel continuously moves the tool along the
selected axis in the selected direction.
The jog feedrate is specified in a parameter (No.1423).
The jog feedrate can be adjusted with the jog feedrate override dial.
Pressing the rapid traverse switch moves the tool at the rapid traverse
feedrate (No. 1424) regardless of the position of the jog feedrate
override dial. This function is called the manual rapid traverse.
Manual operation is allowed for one axis at a time. 3 axes can be
selected at a time by parameter JAX (No.1002#0).
While a switch is pressed, the tool
moves in the direction specified by
the switch.
