Description of function
When you select Manual traverse, you can move the axes with the axis keys of the control.
Using axis keys to move the axes
In the Tilt the working plane (3D ROT) window, you can select the following functions:
Icon | Function | Meaning |
---|---|---|
M-CS machine | Traversing in the machine coordinate system M-CS | |
W-CS workpiece | Traversing in the workpiece coordinate system W-CS | |
WPL-CS working plane | Traversing in the working plane coordinate system WPL-CS | |
T-CS tool | Traversing in the tool coordinate system T-CS |
When you select one of the functions, the control will display the associated icon in the Positions workspace. The control additionally shows the active coordinate system on the 3D ROT button.
If Manual traverse is active, then the operating mode's icon in the control bar changes.
Notes
- It is better to use the T-CS function
- Check the direction of movement
- Move at slow feed rate
- On some machines, you may have to press the NC Start key while Manual traverse is active in order to enable the axis keys.
Refer to your machine manual.
