🛠️ Where It’s Used
This module is typically found in FANUC-equipped CNC machines (e.g., milling centers, lathes, machining centers) where operators need a manual keypad interface separate from the main display. It connects to the CNC control electronics and allows direct manual entry of commands and operational control during setup, jogging, or troubleshooting.
