Traversing with electronic handwheels
The iTNC supports traversing with the following new electronic
handwheels:
„ HR 520:
Handwheel compatible for connection to HR 420 with display, data
transfer per cable
„ HR 550 FS:
Handwheel with display, radio data transmission
In addition to this, the TNC continues to support the cable handwheels
HR 410 (without display) and HR 420 (with display).
The portable HR 5xx handwheels feature a display on which the TNC
shows information. In addition, you can use the handwheel soft keys
for important setup functions, e.g. datum setting or entering and
running M functions.
Caution: Danger to the operator and handwheel!
All of the handwheel connectors may only be removed by
authorized service personnel, even if it is possible without
any tools!
Ensure that the handwheel is plugged in before you
switch on the machine!
If you wish to operate your machine without the
handwheel, disconnect the cable from the machine and
secure the open socket with a cap!
Your machine tool builder can make additional functions
of the HR 5xx available. Refer to your machine tool
manual.
A HR 5xx handwheel is recommended if you want to use
the handwheel superimposition in virtual axis function
(see “Virtual axis VT” on page 379).
