User-friendly setup with HEIDENHAIN handwheels

Delicate manual traverse
For setup, you can use the axis-direction
keys of the machine operating panel tomove the machine axes manually or in incremental jog. A simpler and more reliableway, however, is to use the electronic
handwheels from HEIDENHAIN. With theportable handwheels you are always close
to the action, enjoy a close-up view of thesetup process, and can control the infeed
responsively and precisely.
The HR 550 FS with wireless transmission is exceedingly simple to use: since it
communicates with the handwheel holder
via radio transmission, your movements
are not restricted in any manner, and you
can fully concentrate on the action in themachine’s working space. The practical
HRA 551 FS handwheel holder is not just adocking station for the handwheel: it also
features an integrated charger for the handwheel’s battery, so that your HR 550 FS isalways ready for the next job.

The HR 550 FS electronic handwheels
from HEIDENHAIN are available with andwithout mechanical detent, with 100 stopsper revolution. The traverse path per step
can be set via parameters. It also features
numerous valuable additional functions:
The handwheel display consists of aheader and six status lines. It displays important machine conditions and information(e.g. position of the selected axis, spindlespeed, feed rate, error messages, active
basic rotation and tilted working plane) as
well as the functions of the five soft keys,
which the machine manufacturer canassign as desired. The header provides
information on the active radio operation,
field strength and the battery's state ofcharge.
The colored and raised axis keys permit
traverse of up to six NC axes. In addition,
the machine manufacturer can configure

an axis key for selection of the so-called“virtual tool axis.”
In addition to the soft keys, the machine
manufacturer can assign special functions
to six function keys. They can beilluminated by LEDs. The symbols for theaxis designations and the function keys canbe exchanged.
The axis feed rate, which is activated when
the arrow key is pressed, and the spindle
speed can each be set with an override
potentiometer.
The HR 550 FS handwheel also features
the usual safety buttons: an emergency
stop button and two permissive buttons.
The safety functions of the HR 550 FS fulfill
the requirements of performance level d,category 3, according to EN ISO 13849-1.
In addition, HR 550 FS fulfills therequirements of EN 60950.

The transmission range is amply dimensioned. If you should nevertheless happen
to come near the edge of the transmissionarea, which is possible with very large
machines, the HR 550 FS warns you intime with a plainly noticeable vibration
alarm.
When the handwheel is in the docking
station, contacts on its back ensure
uninterrupted operation in the event of
unexpected disturbances in the radio field.
