Select the appropriate axes and

traverse these according to the desired position in positive or negative

direction.

Traverse the axis according to the desired position.

Pressing the ACCEPT POSITION softkey causes the current position on the

traversed or selected axes (according to the selected block structure) to be

entered in the NC block.

If you enter the names of the axes whose positions are to be saved in the input

line, the settings in the axis selection display no longer apply (see the section

"Modifying an existing part program with block by block teach-in").

such as testing, setting up, etc. MDA mode provides a third way of reaching a

position in addition to the use of the travel keys and the handwheel.

Press the MDA MODE softkey.

The MDA window is highlighted by a yellow frame.

Use the keyboard to enter blocks in this window.

You can press NC start to start the blocks and run them like a program.
