7.1. Manual Machining
Manual machining refers to manipulating a machine tool by the direction keys of the three axes on
the panel. At the same time, the operation speed and step length, etc. can also be adjusted according
to the requirements of operation.
After backing to the reference point, the system will enter into the manual state automatically, the
screen display as shown in Fig. 7-1.

7.1.1. Mode Selection of Manual Machining
To satisfy the requirements of manual motion under different situations, this system provides two
kinds of manual motion modes: “Jog” and “Stepping”, which can be switched by pressing the “Shift”.
The current motion mode is displayed at the bottom of the LCD. For the setup of step, jog speed and
rapid jog speed, press [OK] under the machining page to enter the setup interface.
Jog Motion Mode
There is no concrete data control under this mode. You can press an axis direction key (
,
,
,
,
,
) to move the machine tool accordingly under this mode. The
machine tool will not stop until the direction key is released. For the motion speed, it is decided by the
current type of speed (jog speed and rapid jog speed). This motion mode is suitable for coarse tuning
of the position of machine coordinate.
Stepping Motion Mode
Under this motion mode, the machine tool will move accordingly after an axis direction key is
pressed (
,
,
,
,
,
). Each time an axis direction key is pressed
down, the machine tool will move the set step in the corresponding direction. This motion mode is
suitable for fine tuning of the position of machine coordinate.
