Jog Parameters

Jogging covers all axis motion that is controlled by the use of push buttons,
switches, or hand pulse generators (HPGs). Typically these are mounted

on or near the MTB panel. This does not include any of the homing

operations. Homing operations are discussed in chapter 5.

Continuous jogging refers to holding the jog push button down and
letting the selected axis move continuously at the selected jog feedrate.

Incremental jogs force the selected axis to move a preset incremental
distance.

HPG jogging refers to using an HPG to move the axis an incremental
amount for each pulse sent from the hand pulse generator.

Arbitrary angle jogging lets the operator manually jog the cutting tool
at some predefined angle using more than one axis.

Jog retract allows manual withdrawal from a complex part and then
provides automatic return to the pre-retracted position.

For details on jogging the axes, refer to your lathe or mill programming

and operation manual.

This table lists the parameters that are normally necessary to configure

jogging operations:
