ON SCREEN JOG BOX TO ELIMINATE THE NEED OF PICKING UP THE CONTROLLER

Albert 5 years ago in Hardware / Coordinate Measuring Machines • updated by OGrosch 3 years ago • 3

I would like to have the control to have the same functions of the jog box on my computer screen so that if I get a crash and I'm nowhere near the CMM I can remote onto the computer move the probe away from the crash, edit my program and continue it. This would also be great for those of us that have large CMM's so that we don't need to go to the opposite end of the machine to grab the jog box just to move a probe a few thousandths away from the part.

FLOATING ON SCREEN WIDGET WOULD BE COOL FOR THIS.

Could we maybe use the same virtual controller as the I++ simulator for this?

I agree that in some cases this would be very helpful.
