Electric portable handwheel for CNC machine

The Electric Portable Handwheel for CNC machines (Mach3 CNC electronic handwheel), is a device that provides manual control over the machine’s movement in specific axis or axes. The hand-held unit connects to the CNC machine’s control system, and allows the operator to manually move the machine along the X, Y, or Z axis using a hand-operated wheel or knob. This electric portable handwheel is an added accessory to most CNC machines.

This electric portable handwheel is a valuable tool for CNC machine operators as it allows for greater precision and control during manual machining operations such as jogging the machine to a specific position or making small adjustments to the tool path. It is particularly useful for fine tuning the position of the workpiece for specific operations like drilling or milling, making it a must-have accessory in professional settings like manufacturing, engineering, carpentry and metalworking industries.

This product has the added functionality of a switch step selector (1x, 10x, 100x) which enables precision control of up to 6 axes, and an emergency stop switch. The handwheel also comes equipped with an extensible spring 3 m cable, and a magnetic base support that allows the positioning of the handwheel on steel surfaces, such as the electrical panel near the CNC machine.
