    How to add the hand wheel to a program

    I want to program a move to XY, then be able to use the hand wheel to move Z up and down, and then program another XY move and repeat. I've just been using Jog and distance but that is a lot of typing.
    Is there a way to program in the handwheel? Studying the manual I was going to try using G78 (manual bore) but my Centurion 6 SLS doesn't have that.

    Thanks

    Tim

    Is it possible to add a M0 (non-optional stop) to the G code at the point that you want to manually run the Z?

    Try programming and running in the 2 axis mode

    If you have newer software yon can select "hand wheel run" as an option.

    If in a text(M&G code) program type in HDW, in a conversational put the HDW on a misc line.
    This will allow you move in handwheel and when you escape it will go back to the next program line.
