Jog Axes
Jog Axes panel is used to control one or more axes of the machine component to ensure precise bending operation. The current positions of all the axes can also be viewed in this panel.
Jogging the axes
Each back-gauge is surrounded by six arrows which can be used to move it in one of the six primary directions. When you touch one of these axes, the arrows turns yellow in colour.

In that case, the jog axes panel will appear a bit different from the one shown in the picture above. |
