What key is used to switch between different jog methods?

The key that is used to switch between different jog methods is the COORD key. In the context of FANUC CNC programming, jog methods refer to different ways of moving the machine's axis—such as by increment, rapid movement, or feed rate—depending on the operational needs.

When you press the COORD key, it allows the operator to alternate between the various coordinate systems in which the machine operates. These might include absolute coordinates, incremental coordinates, or other configurations part of the machining environment. This flexibility is crucial for operators to adjust the machine's movements accurately based on the task at hand.

Understanding the function of the COORD key enhances the operator's ability to maneuver the CNC machine efficiently and effectively, facilitating smoother workflows and precision in machining operations.
