Selection of the active motorized LN-Axis
Up to four individual LN-Axes can be controlled using the Keypad SM6-4.
Selection of the active LN-Axis is done using one of the four selection keys [5].
An illuminated LED on the selection key indicates which LN-Axis is active.
! Note that only one LN-Axis can be active at any point in time !
All settings and values in the display always refer to the active LN-Axis.
Only the active axis can be controlled with the movement keys and hand-wheel

The number of LN-Axes available for selection is dependant
on the assembly of the Controller SM-6.

The motorized LN-Axes can be controlled via either the Hand-wheel
or the direction keys. When controlling the LN-Axes via the direction
keys, two speeds are available (high or low). However, when
utilizing the hand-wheel, three different resolutions are available.
Hand-wheel
Hand-wheel resolution

The direction of motion controlled by the hand-
wheel
is adjustable independently from the direction of
motion controlled by the direction keys.
The three resolution options available for the hand-wheel can be
individually adjusted in the Menu.
*See “Menu” Chapter [ set hand-wheel resolution ]
Use of the hand-wheel allows for very fine control over the movement
of the motorized LN-Axes.

The stored positions can be moved to repeatedly with high (μm) precison
and can be overwritten if desired at a later stage
! WARNING !
Altering the zero-position in Counter 1 also alters
the stored positions (Pos.1 and Pos.2)
according to the new zero-point
Press “set position/zero” key ,then press either
the Pos.1 or Pos.2 key.
The position is saved.
