Key issues

Question 1: What are the three most important safety design aspects of this handwheel?

answer:

Meets safety level 3 and complies with EN418 machine tool safety standards;

Equipped with a dual contact emergency stop switch, any contact failure can still stop the machine;

Configure double-sided enable switches (1 on each side) to ensure a safe position for both hands during operation.

Question 2: What are the output signal types and pulse parameters of the iPHD handwheel? What is the significance of machine tools?

answer:

Output: 5V linear drive (RS422) and 5V TTL (Fanuc specific);

Pulse: 100 PPR, A/B orthogonal 90 °± 45 °;

Meaning: Strong anti-interference, long transmission distance, precise positioning, suitable for high-precision handwheel feed in CNC systems.

Question 3: What are the design features of the handwheel in terms of installation and ease of use?

answer:

The back is equipped with a magnet that can be attached to the surface of the machine tool;

Standard 16ft (5m) spiral cable, flexible expansion and contraction;

IP65 protection, oil resistant and dustproof, suitable for workshop environment;

Supports multiple standard connectors and can directly replace brands such as Anshengneng.
