Rapid Traverse Rate Override Switches
The rapid traverse rate override switches are used to
adjust rapid traverse rate.
For example, these switches are used when a tool is
moved at a rapid traverse rate in test cutting.
During test cutting, although positioning is specified at a
rapid traverse rate, positioning must be executed at a
relatively slow feedrate to ensure safe operation. The
switches are used in such a case to lower axis feedrate
when executing positioning while checking axis feed
operation.
Switch operation is impossible with the PANEL
key-switch placed in the
(OFF) position.
Rapid traverse rate is adjusted in two steps,
(fine feed) and
(slow feed), taking the set
traverse rate as 100%.
1.
When the power is turned on,
(fine feed) is selected to ensure safety.
2.
For manual operation, even if the rapid override is set to 100%, the actual override
value is fixed at 50%.
3.
The rapid traverse override function is valid in the dry run mode.
4.
When the operation mode is changed from automatic to manual,
(fine feed) is
selected to ensure safety.

Handle Switches
The handle switches - which comprise the axis selection
switch, the axis feed amount selection switches, and the
manual pulse generator - are used to carry out handle
feed operations.
Close the front door before carrying out the
handle feed operation.
