17 ALS 4.0 P R O D U C T M A N U A L EN 3.5.1 Axis Jog Controls Axis Jog Controls – The controls are arranged in groups according to general function. The following discussion will look at each group separately (labeled 1, 2, 3 in Figure 27). 1 2 3 Figure 27 The green numbers in the black boxes are the current position of each axis. JOG NEG and JOG POS – When these buttons are clicked or touched the axis will move in the direction shown. The axis will move only as long as the jog button remains depressed. NEG (negative) and POS (positive) have the following meaning for each axis: L1 – Rev moves the lumber to the left. Fwd moves the lumber to the right. L2 – Rev moves the lumber to the left. Fwd moves the lumber to the right. A1 – Left turns the blade counterclockwise as viewed from above. Right turns it clockwise. T1 – Rev moves the head to the back of the machine. Fwd moves it to the front. Z1 – Up moves the head up toward the top of the machine. Down moves it down. NOTE B1 – Jogging functions are not used. Jog L1 L2 – Performs the same function as Jog L1 and Jog L2, however, both L1 and L2 will move simultaneously 1. MOVE commands – These buttons function similar to the jog commands, except that they allow the destination of the axis to be set for movement from its current location. This allows for more exact positioning of some axes. Figure 27 and 28 show the panel which is used to input the destination of NOTE When settings have been completed the bevel section, check the remainder of the Semi-Automatic screen to make sure all the other data is correct. Then click or touch SETUP to cut the piece. NOTE SAVE a bevel piece in the same manner described above. Just make sure all the data entered correctly before starting the SAVE process. 3.5 Manual Axis Control 3 2 1 Figure 26 The primary purpose of this screen is to provide manual control of all the axes as well as some other functions of the machine. The red and green indicator circles above them (1 on Figure 26). This array of solid circles indicates the status of all sensors, axes, E-stops and motors on the machine. Red indicates off and green indicates on. This information is useful when diagnosing problems. It is normal for these lights to change color during operation. Some indicators will remain red during operation of the machine and this is no cause for concern. If it is determined that there may be trouble with one or more of the sensors on the machine, contact Alpine Equipment Customer Service at 1-800- 521-9790 for assistance. The manual controls are on the left and across the bottom (2 on Figure 26) The system controls are on the right side (3 on Figure 26).
