| You use this enhancement for exact manual positioning of machine axes. The wireless portable variants improve ergonomics and increase versatility. - The handwheels have the following differing features:
- Portable or installed in the machine operating panel
- With or without display
- With or without functional safety
Electronic handwheels, for example, greatly simplify workpiece setup. Electronic Handwheel

| The control uses this enhancement for automatic and precise detection of workpiece positions and misalignments. - The workpiece touch probes have the following differing features:
- With radio or infrared transmission
- With or without cable
Workpiece touch probes, for example, are useful for quick workpiece setup and for automatic correction of dimensions during program run. Touch Probe Functions in the Manual Operating Mode

| The control uses this enhancement for automatic and precise calibration of tools directly in the machine. - Tool touch probes have the following differing features:
- Contact-free or tactile measurement
- With radio or infrared transmission
- With or without cable
Tool touch probes, for example, are useful for quick workpiece setup and for automatic correction of dimensions and breakage control during program run. Touch Probe Cycles: Automatic Tool Measurement

| Use this enhancement to inspect the tools used. With the VT 121 vision system, you can visually inspect the cutting edges during program run without removing the tool. The vision systems help to avoid damage during program run, thus preventing unnecessary costs. |
Additional operating stations | This enhancement adds a second screen, to facilitate operation of the control. - The additional ITC (industrial thin client) operating stations are differentiated by their intended use:
- The ITC 755 is a compact, additional operating station that mirrors the control's main screen, making it possible to operate the control.
- The ITC 750 and ITC 860 are additional screens that increase the display area of the main screen, so that you can view multiple applications at the same time.
Tip By adding a keyboard unit, the ITC 750 and ITC 860 can be used as full-fledged additional operating stations.
The additional operating stations increase operator comfort, especially on large machining centers. |
| You use this enhancement to install and run Windows-based applications. With Remote Desktop Manager (option 133), you can display the applications on the control’s screen. Remote Desktop Manager window (option 133)
The industrial PC is a secure and powerful alternative to external PCs. |
