2.2 Manual Machine Positioning

Jog Mode Moves

You can make or change jog moves when the CNC is in Manual Data
Input Mode, Teach Mode, or in the Tool Page; and the servos are on.

Changing the Jog Mode

Jog move modes, with the exception of Jog Rapid Mode, are
performed at the currently active feedrate. The CNC displays the
active Jog Mode in the Machine Status Display Area. See "Axis Jog
keys" on page 274.

In Manual Data Input Mode, Press the JOG key to select a jog feed
rate.

Pressing the JOG key continually cycles through the modes listed
above.

Incremental Moves

To make a jog increment move, press the JOG key to select a
Jog 100, Jog 10, or Jog 1 mode.

Press the Axis +/- keys for the desired axis to step the axis in the
corresponding direction at the designated resolution.

Continuous Moves

To manually position the machine using continuous movement,
press the JOG key to select either the Rapid or Feed Jog Modes.

Press the Axis +/- keys for the desired axis to move the axis in the
corresponding direction at the currently active feedrate (Feed Mode)
or at the machine rapid rate (Rapid Mode).
