Control Overview

OP MODE 1 - This mode allows the user to lock and unlock the door, run programs and change tools. The door can only be locked/unlocked in OP MODE 1.

OP MODE 2 and 3 - These modes allow the user to manually jog the machine, edit programs, and calibrate tools and probes.

The SmartKeys are only programmed up to OP MODE 3. OP MODE 4 is for service technicians. You can change between modes by using the hard keys on the right side of the control under the smart key insert.

Correct OP MODE can be verified by the column with the check mark in the upper left hand corner of the screen.

The key pad in the bottom right controls the spindle movement. In order to move the spindle when in OP MODE 1, the door needs to be closed and locked. The spindle can be jogged in OP MODE 2and 3, but the power button on the lower left side needs to be held.

The lower middle keypad controls the jog increments, coolant, and tool change.
