Q: What should I do if the Longitudinal Rapid Traverse is not working?
Issue: The rapid feed joystick is unresponsive.
Troubleshooting Steps:
Check Interlock:
First, attempt to engage Handle A (Feed Selector) into the X or Z axis position.
Identify Lockout:
If the handle cannot be engaged, it indicates an "Interlock" status with Handle B (Split Nut Lever). This safety feature prevents simultaneous threading and feeding.
Reset Procedure:
Press Switch C on the panel. This activates the cylinder to push Handle B fully outward (disengaging the split nut).
Ensure the feed handle is in the Up (neutral) position, then press the switch again to confirm. The joystick should now function correctly.
