MDI Mode (Manual Data Input)
An operational control setting where an operator manually enters specific coordinate values or axis steps into the console for immediate execution.
Technical FAQ
Operators often need to make rapid, manual geometric adjustments for single custom parts without writing a full CNC program. MDI (Manual Data Input) mode allows the operator to type specific axis positions or coordinates directly into the control console for immediate execution. It reduces setup times for one-off jobs, giving experienced operators precise manual control while utilizing the safety monitors of the CNC architecture. Davi iRoll consoles feature a smartphone-like interface that makes switching to MDI mode simple and clear.
