Jog Dial for CNC Machines 2938  (Discontinued)

The Z-Bot Jog Dial replaces the hand cranks on CNC mills.

The Jog Dial is a manual pulse generator (MPG) used to jog any axis on CNC mills through a PC controller. It hooks up through standard interface pins to any PC based controller software that supports MPGs. The dial is indexed with 100 detents per revolution. As the dial is turned, an internal optical encoder generates precise pulses which are interpreted by the software for distance and direction. Typically, each detent is assigned a jog distance of 0.001", making a full rotation of the dial 0.1” See the data sheet for a full description and electrical characteristics.
