3.8.1 Tool Axis Direction Handle Feed/Tool Axis Direction JOG
Feed/Tool Axis Direction Incremental Feed
Overview
In the tool axis direction handle feed, tool axis direction JOG feed,
and tool axis direction incremental feed, the tool or table is moved in
the tool axis direction.
Explanation
- Tool axis direction
The tool axis direction that is taken when all the rotation axes for
controlling the tool are at an angle of 0 degree is specified in
parameters No.19697, No.19698, and No.19699. As the rotation
axes for controlling the tool rotate, the tool axis direction changes
according to the rotation axis angle.

Tool axis direction
- Tool axis direction feed in the tilted working plane command mode
If bit 0 (TWD) of parameter No. 12320 is set to 1, the feed direction of
the tool axis direction feed in the tilted working plane command mode
is assumed to be the Z direction in the feature coordinate system of the
tilted working plane command.
- Tool axis direction handle feed
The tool axis direction handle feed is enabled when the following four
conditions are satisfied:
<1> Handle mode is selected.
<2> The tool axis direction feed mode signal (ALNGH) is set to "1"
and the table base signal (TB_BASE) is set to "0".
<3> The state of the first manual handle feed axis selection signals
(HS1A - HS1E) to make the tool axis direction handle feed
mode effective is set in parameter No.12310.
<4> The value of parameter No.12310 matches the first manual
handle feed axis selection signals (HS1A - HS1E).
