3. MANUAL OPERATION
409
In the handle mode, the tool can be minutely moved by rotating the
manual pulse generator on the machine operator’s panel. Select the axis
along which the tool is to be moved with the handle feed axis selection
switches.
The minimum distance the tool is moved when the manual pulse
generator is rotated by one graduation is equal to the least input increment.
Or the distance the tool is moved when the manual pulse generator is
rotated by one graduation can be magnified by 1 times, 10 times, or by
one of the two magnifications (total four magnifications) specified by
parameters (No. 7113 and 7114).
In addition to using parameters No. 7113 and No. 7114 to set arbitrary
magnifications common to all axes, the user can use parameters No.
12350 and No. 12351 to set arbitrary magnifications independently for
individual axes.
When parameter No. 12350 has no value, parameter No. 7113 is used;
when parameter No. 12351 has no value, parameter No. 7114 is used.
These parameters are also valid for manual handle interruption.

Procedure for Manual Handle Feed
1 Press the HANDLE switch, one of the mode selection switches.
2 Select the axis along which the tool is to be moved by pressing a
handle feed axis selection switch.
3 Select the magnification for the distance the tool is to be moved by
pressing a handle feed magnification switch. The distance the tool is
moved when the manual pulse generator is rotated by one graduation
is: Least input increment multiplied by magnification
4 Move the tool along the selected axis by rotating the handle. Rotating
the handle 360 degrees moves the tool the distance equivalent to 100
graduations.
The above is an example. Refer to the appropriate manual provided by
the machine tool builder for the actual operations.
