Description of function
Operating elements
A handwheel without display features the following operating elements:
1 | Axis keys |
2 | The actual position capture key |
3 | Keys for the speed level |
4 | Traverse direction keys |
5 | Keys which the machine manufacturer can assign, such as Spindle ON, NC Start and NC stop |
6 | Handwheel permissive buttons |
7 | Dial |
8 | The Emergency stop button |
Speed levels
The handwheel offers three keys with pre-defined speed levels that you can choose from.
The speed level influences the following values:
- Distance that the control moves an axis by when you rotate the wheel by one detent stop
- Feed rate at which the control moves the axis when you press an axis-direction key
You use a key to specify both the feed rate as well as the speed level for the distance moved. However, the control uses different, independent values, depending on whether you rotate the wheel or press a key.
Key | Meaning |
---|---|
Low speed level Example: Distance of 0.001° or 0.001 mm/inch | |
Medium speed level Example: Distance of 0.01° or 0.01 mm/inch | |
High speed level Example: Distance of 0.1° or 0.1 mm/inch |
Refer to your machine manual.
The machine manufacturer defines the values of the speed levels for each axis.

Creating an NC block with the current position
Refer to your machine manual.
The machine manufacturer can assign any keys on the handwheel. Your handwheel therefore might not have an actual position capture key.
To create an NC block using the handwheel: | ||
| ||
| ||
|
You use the actPosAxes machine parameter (no. 105415) to define the axes used by the actual position capture key to create a straight line L.
Incremental jog positioning using handwheels without display
Incremental jog positioning allows you to move the selected axis by a defined value each time you press a key. In order to perform incremental jog positioning using a handwheel without display, you must first define the jog increment on the control.
Incremental jog positioning works only for traverse movements using the axis-direction keys.
