KeWheel – Combine overrides and handwheels in one

device. Use case improvements for „trial NC program

runs” are easy and efficient to create.

Adaptive hand wheel

• Different haptic elements

• Force feedback function

• Blocking at critical positions

• Combinable with push functions

Dynamic override function

• Change rapid traverse /

forward feed / spindle

• Set override position

• Reset of end stops

Haptic feedback for intuitive control

With the fully adaptive Rotary-Push Button KeWheel as the

main operating element, input devices, such as overrides,

handwheels, mode-selection switches, axis travel buttons

and the user interface, can be combined in a single device.

The KeWheel provides the operator with additional informa

tion about the condition of the machine through wide-rang

ing haptic feedback. Blind operation and staying focused on

the process is therefore supported.

Due to the magnetorheological fluid used in the KeWheel,

several sensory effects and holding torques can be gener

ated instantly.
